Midlanders in Record Atempt
Midlanders, get the chance to break a world record this summer for the world’s largest montage of photos. The arts council have teamed up with the BBC and flickr to ask people to submit any photos which depicts life in this part of the world.

The website also offers the latest photos to be added and tips and tricks on how to improve your photos and is managed and maintained by a member of the Birmingham Flickr group. The result will be a massive whacking huge slab of canvas/paper with all the moderated photos placed on it, think of the million pixel project. The results will be shown around the region! The project is mostly powered by flickr, but people don’t need flickr account to take part, cameraphone pics and scans are being accepted.
Picture this with flickr on Ch4
This comes hot on the heals of Channel 4’s involvement with flickr on picture this and last years BBC 4 series where flickr users were able to add photos to a group which showed a random slideshow of shots on the BBCi interactive TV service.
If you have a camera, pick it up and use it, they need 90,000 images by June.
