Exhibition seeks centrepiece

A Great Exhibition of Lincolnshire is being held this autumn, and the mayor of the county is looking for a centrepiece.

The event is taking place on Wednesday, October 22, at the Lincolnshire Showground.

“This prestigious event aims to provide a prominent platform for Lincolnshire to promote its businesses, investment, and trade opportunities, attract national attention, and draw international investors,” a statement from the mayoral office states. “It will be a grand showcase celebrating all that Lincolnshire has to offer.

“And there’s a chance for one of our successful businesses to provide a grand exhibit to be the centrepiece at the entrance of the Great Exhibition.

“The exhibit should be of significant scale, visual impact, and dimensions to create interest.

“It must reflect the aspirations of Greater Lincolnshire and align with one or more of the three core themes of the Great Exhibition: Innovation, Investment, and Trade.”

Mayor dame Andrea Jenkyns stated: “I pledged to bring the Great Exhibition to Lincolnshire and am delighted to now be creating that vision.

“I’m establishing a major platform to showcase the world-class tech, innovation, design, manufacturers, and producers within our businesses and linking them up with investors and trade opportunities.

“This is sure to be a visual spectacle, and we want our businesses to step forward and propose a show-stopping grand exhibit.”

Entries must be submitted by September 5.
