Big Screen show for local talent

The Big Screen can be seen outside St David's Hall in the city centre

We're looking for local bands, filmmakers, artists and photographers to display their talent in the centre of Cardiff.

The Big Screen outside St David's Hall shows BBC news, sport, weather and more from 7am till 11pm daily.

We're also keen to showcase local music and films and display the work of photographers and artists.

If you'd like your work shown on the Big Screen, send your details by email to bigscreencardiff@bbc.co.uk

We'll also show the best of your photos - keep sending these to wales.southeast@bbc.co.uk

BBC Big Screen in Cardiff

Current Big Screen highlights include:

  • Derek Brockway's Extreme Welsh Weather
  • One Stop Shop - the story of the Gwalia Stores, formerly in Ogmore Vale but now an exhibit at St Fagans
  • The 'Stute - memories of people who lived and worked in Oakdale Miners Institute, also rebuilt at St Fagans
  • Tiger Bay Nation - animation based on historian Neil Sinclair's childhood memories of Cardiff's docklands
  • Rhyd y Car - animation by children from Merthyr Tydfil
  • Heritage of Wales - a tour of landmarks including Tintern Abbey, Caerphilly Castle and Blaenavon Ironworks

While the BBC will be running the screen, it was paid for by the organisers of the London 2012 Olympics.

They will be using it to promote the games and give updates on preparations.

A similar Big Screen is in operation in Swansea's Castle Square.
