Cadw, Welsh Government on behalf of the Welsh Ministers has announced a major competition to mark 2017’s Year of Legends.

Following on from the success of the 2016 Year of Adventure, the Year of Legends campaign aims to raise the profile of Wales’s tourism offer and attract even more visitors to Wales in 2017.
Nature has shaped Wales as a country full of visual drama and splendour. From the beginnings of our earliest times people added a stories to our wonderful landscapes; built castles and fought wars; forged industry, communities and inspired innovation; moulded artistic and sporting heroes.
