</B>"Light up the Lights" - Blackpool Illuminations Competition

Have you got a face to light up the world famous Blackpool Illuminations?
If you think you have then we have a unique opportunity for you to do just that.

We are giving six Granada Reports viewers – three male and three female - the chance to have their picture transformed into a 1960’s pop art style image, just like these:-

lucy-popart.jpgtony-popart.jpg

These will then go on display as part of a quarter mile long archway of faces which will take pride of place along Blackpool’s promenade throughout the Illuminations season.

So what do you have to do to be in with a chance of winning?

Download this entry form and send us a portrait picture – (head and shoulders) - of yourself along with up to 50 words on why you should Light Up The Lights

We are looking for entries that are original, creative and deserving of the prize

We also need your contact details.

    Yes, excuse me if I pass on this one on two counts - one looking at myself like that is my idea of hell and two, it's in flipping Blackpool FGS in the illuminations. :eek: My hubby is sand grown so we go to the edges of it quite a lot, and he works there. He hates the place, and so do I tho I can tolerate the outer bits. The Golden Mile is rank, truly awful place.

    It's a vile place.. only looks good in the dark.. :D

    Quite a nice cheesy day out though for the little ones from time to time.. we turned up one day after the lights had been turned off and were gutted :(

    Why don't you send a pic of both you and him in.. you'll probably win as nobody else will enter!!

    Or do you reckon he would go mad :rotfl:
