Hadrian’s Wall Heritage Ltd is challenging people to Tweet about Britain’s famous historic landmark using no more than the 140 characters (about 22 words) allowed by Twitter.

The organisation has joined the social networking group as part of its campaign to publicise The Living Frontier, a series of dramatic re-enactment events during the spring half term holiday.

Using the Twitter profile Emperor Hadrian the team at Hadrian’s Wall Heritage is starting to update people about all the exciting events that are planned between 26 and 31 May.

Now Emperor Hadrian is calling on people to use their creative writing skills by sending a Tweet about Hadrian’s Wall with the chance to win an iPod nano 8GB.

Apart from sticking to the 140 character limit the only other requirement is that you use the words ‘Hadrian’s Wall’ in your tweet.

The competition will be judged by the author and broadcaster Eric Robson, who is also a board member of Hadrian’s Wall Heritage Ltd.
