The culmination of this six month project will be a world record attempt to create the World’s Largest Photo Mosaic. The organisers are in need of volunteers to assist with this record breaking task and that's where you come in! Of all the pictures submitted, eight have been shortlisted, but only one will be chosen to make the final mosaic. The chosen picture will remain a secret until the finished mosaic is revealed in late August. Throughout August, production of the individual panels that make up the mosaic will be taking place around Birmingham and the Black Country. See the list on the right to find a workshop near you. Volunteers needed!Every day the Big Picture team will be sticking photos onto the plywood panels that will create the final mosaic, using a simple grid system. There are 288 panels to be completed, so they need lots of volunteers to break the record! The workshops are free and open to all (although children must be accompanied). It is very straightforward work, but you will be fully trained, and there will be members of the Big Picture team around the whole time in case you need any help. This is a fantastic opportunity to be involved in a truly unique West Midlands project - and of course all volunteers are invited to attend the unveiling of the mosaic on Saturday 23 August outside Thinktank in Birmingham.
