We're looking for Irish people around the world to send us a short "Happy St. Patrick's Day" video message to be included in RTÉ One's TV coverage of the St. Patrick's Festival Parade this year.

With the theme of this year's parade focusing on 'Home', we're inviting Irish people all over the world to join in the celebrations by sending a message back home.

All you need to do is record yourself on a mobile phone, digital camera or any video device in landscape mode (turn your phone sideways!) and send it to us via email to parade@cocotelevision.ie, or alternatively, via WhatsApp to 087 100 7202.

Don't forget to choose a backdrop that shows off the location you're in to give us back home a feel of where in the world you are – e.g Statue of Liberty, Sydney Opera House etc. Also, feel free to get into the spirit of things by dressing up and wearing something green!

REQUIREMENTS

Your message must not exceed 8 seconds in duration.
Your clip cannot have any association with alcohol.

Example Message:
"Hello to everyone back home in Ireland, Happy St. Patrick's day from Dubai".

Here's a look at some of last year's messages for inspiration:
