of 113,000 photos sets world record

Mosaic in the picture for record: The biggest ever photo mosaic. Close to 113,000 photos were used to create the image below. Size equivalent to 3 tennis courts.

Nearly 113,000 people from across the region sent in photographs between January and June connected to their daily lives. The photos have been used to create a giant mosaic, the size of three tennis courts. It is now on display at Birmingham's Thinktank at Millennium Point.

Eight photographs, taken by people from Birmingham, the Black Country, Shropshire, Stoke-on-Trent, and Warwickshire, were shortlisted to be picked as the top photograph from the total of 112,896 entries. The entire mosaic was formed to display the winning photograph, by 17-year-old Lucy Moore of Tipton, in the Black Country.
