and I Love My City is one of those photography gathering expeditions by a big company giving “an opportunity to make your city the best loved city in the UK” by CBS Outdoor. They got in touch with us about it, we’ve not yet seen any tweets for #lovingBirmingham but if you have seen the competition, and are thinking of entering, as always, read the terms and conditions (particularly 7b.)
Run a mile from the CBS competition, still amazed people enter these things without looking at the T&C’s…
