To celebrate the 200th anniversary of the naming of the first dinosaur (Megalosaurus bucklandii) we need YOUR help in naming our recently restored ichthyosaur skull.
(And yes, we do know it’s an ancient marine reptile, not a dinosaur!)

HOW TO ENTER:

1.    Visit the Herbert Art Gallery & Museum
2.    Fill in a short on-site ballot card with your creative name idea
3.    Our expert judging panel will shortlist the TOP 5 names, which will be put out to a public vote on social media

The deadline for ENTRY is Sunday 18th February.

The lucky winner will not only have the privilege of naming our ichthyosaur, but also receive a very special goodie bag!
