Does your town have the sparkle to be twinned with Disney World in Florida?

Does Belfast or Lisburn have the pizzazz to be officially twinned with Walt Disney World Resort in Florida?

A competition to nominate villages, towns and cities is running until 22 November 2009. Creativity is encouraged: entries can contain words, poems, pictures and even videos to convince the judges of why your home is deserving of a lasting relationship with Disney. You need to be 18 or over to enter.

One of the judges is The One Show’s roving reporter (and CBBC presenter) Angellica Bell. She explains:

“I am thrilled to be involved with the search for Walt Disney World’s first-ever twin town. Every village, town and city can enter, however big or small, and I cannot wait to see why people think their community deserves to win.”

If you win, you’ll be invited along to a Disney-themed party in your town to celebrate the new twinning relationship before being flown out with up to another three members of your family to Walt Disney World Resort in Florida for the official twinning ceremony in the fairy tale Magic Kingdom.

You can catch existing entries at the Twinned Town website: I can already see entries for Newtownards and Holywood. February wouldn’t be a bad time to escape Northern Ireland for Florida ...
