Power of Place 2010
| The PoP Phone |
 |
Power of Place (POP) has launched ‘The POP Phone’ as an easy way to take part in the celebrations. We are asking people to tell us what Power of Place means to them.
Does it mean people, places, words, memories? Which buildings in Shetland do you think are beautiful? Which are ugly? What is the future of architecture and placemaking in Shetland?
Anyone can take part by sending texts, photos and short mobile phone videos. These will be brought together and shown around Shetland.
The POP Phone number is 0750 35 966 35 (texts will be charged at your standard network rate). |
