You may have seen some publicity with Big Picture day listed as Thursday 1 May, we moved the date in order to allow more people to enter and so not to clash with the local elections. If you submit an entry on the first of May, don’t worry, these photos will be considered too.

*To add a photo by MMS send it with BIGPIC first in the text of your message to 60300.
You can add a title if your phone gives you a Subject: field, and tell us a story in the text of your message (even leave your name). Texts cost your network operator’s standard rate. We may in the future use your number to send you free information about The Big Picture - you can text STOP to 60300 to stop those messages.
