The Big Picture is a new project run by Arts Council England West Midlands and supported by the 大象传媒.

The idea of the project is to build a unique snapshot of the West Midlands, the people and communities you live in through your photos and stories of your life and locality.

This will help build a lasting insight to the social history and fascinating lives and loves of the residents of Coventry.

Over the next six months the project aims to collect more than 95,000 individual images, which will be then used to create a giant, world record-breaking, photomontage.

The current world record for the largest photo mosaic measured 562.85 m虏 (6,058.46 ft虏) and contained 94,392 individual photographs. It was created in Nurnberg, Germany, on 15 December 2007.

The Big Picture launch in Coventry and Warwickshire

How can I get involved?

Make sure your images play a starring role in the world record attempt by taking and submitting photos that show your day-to-day life, and those things that are most important to you.

It doesn't matter what the subject of your picture is, as long as it is of something or someone that inspires you, from family and friends to your favourite place in Coventry or even your football team.

To be part of The Big Picture and the world record attempt there are two ways you can submit your photos. Upload them directly onto the project website:

大象传媒 Coventry & Warwickshire Open Centre

You can now drop your photos off at the 大象传媒 Coventry & Warwickshire Open Centre in Priory Place, Coventry. We will then scan the photos in and send them off to the people at the Big Picture.
