Forget Big Brother, get on Big blogger

I was there: the people's review of 2006 Fed up of watching the latest attention-hungry nutcases being transformed into newsworthy (well Heat-worthy) celebrities ?

If so you might be interested to hear about a new project from production company Endemol which is being created around footage sent in from photo journalists via picture sharing site Fotothing. Due to air on prime time on ITV1 in the UK, I was there: the people’s review of 2006 promises to present the big news stories from the perspective of the citizen journalist.

If you’ve got some shots or video of any major events that were reported in the UK press this year, then all you need to do is register for free on Fotothing, upload your images and tag them ‘ITV’. Aside from the obvious attraction of fleeting fame (look mum, my photo is on TV…no not the one of me, the one I took) Endemol will shell out cold hard cash for any images used.

You can see your competition from the submitted entries here.

Whilst you’re about it you might want to double your chances by entering our own citizen journalist photo competition in association with citizen journalist photo agency Scoopt.
