The city of Nice is looking for its volunteers to attempt a world record!

June 21st is traditionally the day of the festival of music, and this year, the city of Nice has decided to mark this date with a milestone, or rather with a fabulous world record concerning the upcoming Nice Jazz Festival which will enter the Guinness World Records.

For this, the city of Nice will soon call upon all the residents of Nice who wish to participate in this great human and necessarily musical adventure.

However, to oversee the event, we are also looking for volunteers who will be in charge of managing the participants and who will also partake in this record attempt.

You are available in the afternoon of Saturday, June 21st!

You are motivated to actively participate in establishing this new record!

Feel free to send us your application by email at: benevole21juin2014@ville-nice.fr specifying your last name, first name, date of birth, address, and phone number where we can contact you to provide more details.

What is the Guinness World Records?

The Guinness Book of Records was first published in 1955 at the initiative of the Englishmen Norris and Ross McWhirter under the name The Guinness Book of Records, who owned a documentation agency in London, following an idea by Hugh Beaver of the Irish brewery Guinness. In 1999, it became The Guinness World Records. During a hunting party, Sir Hugh Beaver saw a bird pass by and was impressed by its speed. That evening in a pub with his friends, they debated for a while about the bird Sir Hugh Beaver had seen and which was the fastest bird in the world. Following this debate, they decided to catalog all the fastest, heaviest animals, etc.

In France, in 1962, they released the first book of records under the name Le Livre des Extrêmes. Thirteen years later in 1975, they released the 2nd book called Le Livre des Records, and since then it has been published annually. In 1980, the book changed its name to Le Livre Guinness des Records. In 1999, the book is now called Guinness World Records, in 2007 Le Mondial des Records, and since 2010, it has reverted to Guinness World Records.
