News of the first 'Shine Week' national schools festival has been featured in broadcasts on the UK's main TV stations, on shows such as Breakfast on BBC1 and This Morning on ITV1. The festival, showcasing the talents of the nation's children and promoting the encouragement and nurturing of the talents of young people, relies very heavily on the social networking website www.shineweek.co.uk which was designed and built by Brightlemon. Participants in the festival (from over 2500 of the UK's schools') have been using the site to upload and share video, audio, images and written content spotlighting the talents of themselves, classmates and friends. Users can comment on each other's work and stories and post news of events held by their schools under the banner of Shine Week. Former Blue Peter presenter Konnie Huq appeared on BBC1's Breakfast program to promote the festival. You can see her interview using the BBCs iPlayer:
