Follow on Google News | Claim Your Place on a Guinness World RecordHow a young British entrepreneur is opening up the ‘longest banner’ world record to the public.
By: Longest Banner And it could be coming to a street – make that a motorway – near you soon. When advertisers buy one of the sqm slots for $30, they vote for which country they would like to see the banner in. It’s like Eurovision – only this time the biased voting is perfectly acceptable. All they need to do is visit www.longestbanner.com, which was launched on February 12, and upload their preferred logo/text – it’s that simple. Once the online banner is filled the physical banner goes into production using the collected funds to set up. On the record! • The 55.5km vinyl banner will cost $700,000 and consist of 50,500 slots. • Each 100cm x 100cm slot costs $30. • According to the Guinness World Records, the existing world record for the longest banner is 55.4km and held by Rotary International in India. • With each slot purchase, advertisers vote to determine in which country the banner will be unveiled. • Advertisers then choose one of six charities to receive a $100,000 donation once the banner is complete. • The website links advertisers to a one-click vector conversion site. Vector images can be scaled up to any size without losing their quality. • There’s a built in bidding system allowing printers to submit their quotes. The best will become the official producer and have their name solely associated with printing the banner. End
