On Saturday we launched our brand new project #stickygramtheworld with the wonderful IgersLondon. 

The aim was to “collect” 9 iconic London shots, prizes were given for capturing them all, for the best shot and for the best use of StickyGram.

We’re looking forward to doing this in our next city! If you want to get involved and StickyGram your home town then get in touch at hello@stickygram.com. We’ll send you out a pack of 9 iconic places in your city!

Here are our favourite shots from this weekend…

For May, we chose Mustafa Seven a great street and people photographer based in Istanbul.
