Big Picture Day


CELEBRATE BIG PICTURE DAY WITH THE MOST PHOTOGRAPHED FACES OF STAGE, SCREEN & SPORT
o
The West Midlands has just under two months to go to smash the World Record for the biggest photo mosaic, and organisers of The Big Picture are urging people in the region to get snappy!
Thursday 8 May marks Big Picture Day, and all images submitted to the online gallery at http://www.inthebigpicture.co.uk/ during that day will be entered into a special competition, with the winning photographs being displayed a huge billboards in June.
o
In case any encouragement is needed, The Big Picture team will be travelling the region with some rather famous faces. Visitors to the Big Picture roadshows will get a taste of how it feels to be in the limelight, by having their picture taken on the red carpet alongside a rather familiar looking David Beckham, Will Smith or Kylie.
