COMMUNITIES across the News Shopper patch are being urged to take part in a national day of play.

Playday will take place on August 4 and families are being urged to apply to Disney for cash to fund their own Toy Story themed event.

Disney Interactive Studios will not only give the lucky winner £2,000 towards the day, but will also help arrange it.

Game pods will be supplied to give guests the chance to play the new Toy Story 3 video games. Three runners up will also receive £500 of support to celebrate the day.

To enter the competition visit playday.org.uk/toystory and explain, in no more than 500 words, why your community deserves a Toy Story Playday.

Toy Story 3 The Video Game from Disney, is out on all formats on July 16.
