There are many iconic 'big' landmarks in regional Australia, but they are not as colourful and extravagant as the big rainbow that will call one town home.
People across Australia are being asked to 'suggest a home' for the fabulous LGBTQIA+ landmark, which is known as the Big Rainbow Project.

The initiative aims to increase visibility, inclusion and awareness for the rainbow community, who might be far from central towns and support services.

The arches emulate the Progress Pride Flag designed by non-binary artist Daniel Quasar, which commemorates different intersections of the LGBTQIA+ community.
The project is a collaborative effort between Tinder, members of the LGBTQIA+ community, First Nations people, experts and community advisors.
People across the country over the age of 18 can have their say in where it should go on the Big Rainbow Project website.
You need to add your name, email address, and explain in less than 200 words where the rainbow should go and why.
Entries were initially meant to be in by April 10, but have been extended to April 20.
