The Anzac Bridge silo billboard in Sydney is set to feature a massive "thank you" to everyone who is working hard and pitching in during the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.
The words "thank you" will be put together using photos of people who are doing their bit and Leeton residents have been invited to put themselves forward, or submit an image of someone they want recognised.
These essential workers can include those who are keeping our pantries stocked, our sick cared for, our elderly looked after, our rubbish collected, and beyond.
The billboard mosaic has been donated by smartphone brand, OPPO to recognise the hard workers out there, including those from Leeton.
Helping to pull the initiative together is Ariana Shutte, a former Leeton resident, who was excited to see dozens of residents from the area already submitting their photos for inclusion.

Residents can also nominate an essential worker they know who deserves to have their hard work recognised and a special little place on this very big billboard.
So far, there have been more than 50 submissions from Leeton residents, with the deadline to be part of the billboard extravaganza closing at noon on Wednesday, April 22.
Residents can also join the conversation on social media by using the hashtag #AnEssentialThankYou.
