Keen photographers from across the city have been presented with digital cameras as their prize for winning the 'Birmingham Snaps' competition, organised by Digital Birmingham as part of its 'Get into Digital' month, aimed at demonstrating the potential and benefits of technology.

Entrants from all parts of Birmingham were invited to take digital photographs of life in their local area and upload them to 'The Big Picture' website, run by Arts Council West Midlands and supported by the BBC, which was collecting photos from all over the West Midlands with the aim of creating the world's biggest photo mosaic.

The winners from each constituency attended a recent presentation at Birmingham's council house, where they were presented with their prize of a Sony CyberShot DSC W130 camera, donated by Computerland UK Ltd and presented by Birmingham City Council deputy leader Paul Tilsley, who heads up the Digital Birmingham partnership.
