Revellers will be able see their messages of "inspiration" beamed onto Sydney's Harbour Bridge as part of the city's $7.2 million New Year's Eve celebrations.
Tweets will be projected onto the bridge's pylons all night alongside the world's most technologically advanced fireworks display.
More than a million people are expected to flock to the harbour foreshore for the New Year's Eve extravaganza and the event will be broadcast to more than a billion people around the world.
"This year we're encouraging Sydneysiders to get involved," Sydney Lord Mayor Clover Moore said at the Opera House.
"Given we have over 200 nationalities here in the city, they can send messages to family and friends on the other side of the world. I think they would be excited about that."
Seven tonnes of fireworks, including 11,000 shells and 25,000 shooting comets, will be launched from the bridge in displays at 9pm, 10.40pm and midnight.
Actor Jack Thompson is the creative ambassador for this year's event.
