FOUR days, four Giants – one unforgettable event which will result in one very special book.
Due to popular demand, Liverpool City Council is set to produce a limited edition book which will contain more than 100 beautiful images of Liverpool’s Dream – thought to be the city’s biggest ever event, attracting around 1.3million people to Liverpool and Wirral.
The team wants anyone who thinks they have a fantastic or unique photograph to submit it the Giants Team for the chance for it to be included in the final publication.
In order for the image to be considered:
- No more than two images per person can be submitted
- Each image must be at least 3MB
- There must be no copyright or permissions attached to use the image
- Images must be submitted by people over the age of 16
No payment will be given for any of the images provided, but the photographer will be credited in the book.
Anyone who would like to share their photographic gem needs to head to www.giantspectacular.com/be-part-of-the-story, fill in the form and upload the images.
And if you don’t want to submit a photo of the event but would like to let the team know what the Giants mean to you, head to the same page on the website. Just add your memory or thoughts, name, age, where you live and a photo of yourself, and it may also be included in the special souvenir.
In order to publish the book in time for Christmas, the deadline is tight and all images or comments about the Giants need to be received by 5pm on Monday 15 October.
Deputy Mayor and Cabinet Member for Culture, Tourism and Events, Councillor Wendy Simon, said: “Within hours of Liverpool’s Dream finale, we were being asking if a book would be produced so people could re-live the incredible spectacle they had experienced.
“The event was such a wonderful moment in the cultural history of Liverpool and Wirral that there was no question of not having a book showcasing some of its highlights.
“We know that there will be thousands of incredible pictures captured by the audience, and this is going to make it really tough to choose which ones appear in print.
“But we urge people to share a couple of their favourite photographic moments or let us know what impact the Giants have had on them, with the chance to have their handiwork and comments on display in this very special keepsake.”
Cllr Phil Davies, Leader of Wirral Council, said: “The Giant’s visit to New Brighton was an unforgettable day and many of the 80,000 visitors who came to welcome him to Wirral will have taken stunning photos of his adventure.
“The reaction to the whole event has been overwhelming and we’re looking forward to seeing the images and reflections from this year’s Giant Spectacular on both sides of the Mersey. This publication will allow the memories from this very special weekend to live on for many years to come.”
The book is being produced in partnership with Royal de Luxe and Newhall Publishing Ltd. It will be available to purchase in November.
