On Sunday, August 24, the Olympics will officially transfer from Beijing into the hands of London 2012. In order to mark the occasion, the organisers are staging parties up and down the country – including a 40,000-capacity event on The Mall in London.


As part of the planned entertainment for the day, London 2012 is offering YouTube users the opportunity to take part in this historic event by “Partying Like It’s 2012” via video.






All you need to do is record your finest celebration and upload it as a response to the callout above. The most impressive performers will see their antics relayed onto big screens at the handover events for all to witness. So, whether you’re a fist pumper, a finger-pointer or a lap-of-honour kind of celebrator, commit your cheer to film and you could be part of one of the country’s key events this summer – and become part of Olympics history.


Have fun,

The YouTube Team
