Fierce! Festival's "Name in Lights" Provides Instant Celebrity

Name in Lights was a competition to find a name that will be created in giant illuminated letters and installed on a prominent UK landmark building. The competition is part of the Fierce! Festival 10th anniversary commission to artist Joshua Sofaer, who devised the concept and will be doing the installation.

The idea is to find the name that will be created. Entries were taken for names, alive or dead, and up to 150 words as to why they would want to see that name in lights.

The contest is closed now and next week a panel of judges will pick the lucky winner. Then that name will be fabricated as a massive illuminated sign (as you see below) beaming out across the city, from Birmingham Central Library.

Go ahead, get your name in lights too and share it with a friend. Flash is required.
