Shiny, sparkly, shimmering, glowing, radiating… Or shining a light on your favourite community hero or heroine, past or present?

What’s it going to be?

Here are five tips to shine, without casting a shadow on the environment

1. Check out local charity and vintage shops in Penzance and put together a unique outfit. Upcycling and reusing saves money, waste and throwaway buys

2. Think twice on the glitter and stick-on face decorations. Even the ‘biodegradable’ stuff is bad for the sea and soil. Opt for brilliant make-up or face paint instead

3. Get creative on head dresses, masks and accessories – head to Buttons and Bows for the extra glimmer in things like buttons, ribbons and sew on items

4. Do a clothes swap with your mates. Dig out the fancy dress box and festival gear and between you we guarantee you’ll concoct some new and dazzling designs

Make sure you leave a belt hook for a carabiner clip, so you can attach a refill bottle for your water from home. Even better if it’s a shiny one!

The Mock Mayor will be keeping their beady eyes on to scout for those Shining Together, to choose the Shiniest people out and about – will it be you and your mates or family?
