The DK Eyewitness Travel Photo Britain competition has just opened, inviting all amateurs, professionals and Under 16s alike to submit photos showcasing the best of what Britain has to offer.

Running in association with PhotoBox, the competition encourages everyone to step out in the sun this spring to explore the different faces of Britain, from iconic landmarks to amazing architecture.

The competition runs from 30 March – 31 May 2009 and spans the following four categories:

• Iconic
• Heritage
• Wild
• My Britain

The winner will be awarded with the money-can’t-buy prize of having their image published on the front cover of DK Eyewitness Great Britain 2010. In addition, the winning photographer will be awarded a £1,500 Landmark Trust holiday voucher, £100 PhotoBox vouchers and a PhotoBox canvas of the winning image. The 11 runners up will also receive vouchers and books from DK Eyewitness and the competition partners.

A shortlist of 100 entries will be judged by a panel, including the world renowned photographer Tom Ang, with a selection of outstanding entries exhibited at Waterstone’s flagship store in Piccadilly, London, throughout July/August 2009. What’s more, for every image submitted, DK Eyewitness will donate 10p to the Landmark Trust charity, so you’ll also be giving to charity by entering the free competition!
