Win a superhero costume

Superboy, Jim Medway

Win your own specially designed superhero costume!

Enter our competition to celebrate the opening of our Heroes and Monsters exhibition. To be in with a chance of winning your own superhero costume, we would like to know what you would pick as your immortal superpower.

Would you rather shoot thunderbolts at your enemies like Zeus, fly like Superman, have super strength like Hercules or move things with your mind like Roald Dahl’s Matilda?

If somebody could grant your wish and grant you this power, how would you use it? Would you have fun playing pranks on your friends or spend your time helping save those in need?

Whoever comes up with our favourite answer will win their very own, made-to-measure superhero costume, created to reflect their immortal superpower and made by one of the region’s best up-and-coming fashion designers. So you can always make sure you’re looking your best when saving the world!

10 runners up-will also win a Heroes and Monsters goodie bag, jam-packed with goodies linked to the exhibition.
