SNOW White has gone missing - but creative children can help trace her thanks to a new competition.

Bishop Auckland Town Hall has transformed their McGuiness Gallery into a winter wonderland as part of their Santa's Grotto event, and have drawings and paintings on display, including Santa Claus and other festive friends.

The seven dwarves are also there, but no Snow White - so the Town Hall is hoping local youngsters will help draw her.

They have set up a competition for the best drawing of Snow White, open to all children in the area.

The winner will receive a family ticket to the The Tale of Robin Hood, at Bishop Auckland Town Hall, on Saturday, January 28.

The drawings can be done using any material. They can be handed in at Bishop Auckland Library, in the town's market place, and must include the child's name, age and address. The closing date is Saturday, December 24.
