Talking Statues is year-long project which brings Norwich UNESCO City of Literature to life through its statues.

Creative Nation and the Norwich-based National Centre for Writing launched an open competition for children and adults to write a short tale for the Snap the Dragon statue at the Bridewell Museum and for the 'Missing statue' at the Church of St John Maddermarket.

Amelia Platt, 16, from Litcham School and Tom Carver, an actor, will lend their voices to the statues.

Stephen Fry has written and voiced the statue of Lord Nelson and Olivia Coleman has provided the voice for Julian of Norwich.

Miss Platt said: 'I hope people enjoy listening to Snap's story as much as I enjoyed writing it.

'I'm so excited to have won this competition and can't wait for people to hear my monologue for Snap.'
