BBC South East need your photos for Diamond Jubilee Artwork

A portrait of The Queen has been commissioned by BBC South East Today which will be entirely made up of photographs of the people of the region to celebrate the Queen's Diamond Jubilee.

Around 10,000 images will be needed for a huge photo-mosaic of the Queen. The photos can be portaits, family photos, shots of people in front of their favourite South East landmark, people in their garden or on a fairground ride – anything at all as long as it shows local faces. The pictures can be black and white or colour, recent or old. They will be included in a work of art, made in collaboration with the artist Helen Marshall, entitled The People’s Monarch.

The closing date for submissions is Friday 11 May.

The portrait will be the size of a double decker bus and will go on display at the Towner Gallery in Eastbourne from 25th May until 10th June.
