Competition

Win a £2000 holiday for four in the Austrian Alps!

To win send us quirky and quality photographs of children on their travels or undertaking outdoor activities, enjoying – or hating – their experience.

We can only accept slides and digital photos, and we don't want pictures solely of Romanian, Nepalese or African children, just your own or your friends', out and about, in the UK or overseas.

The Prize

The prize for the winner is a fabulous one-week holiday in Niederau in the Austrian Alps with Crystal Family Holidays for a family of four (two adults and two children) next summer (May to end September 2007), subject to availability. No cash alternative will be offered and the prize is not transferable. For full terms and conditions refer to our magazine.

The competition will run until May 2007 and submissions are invited for each issue.

The winners from those submissions will in turn compete in the grand final with the overall winner for our first year of publication receiving this wonderful prize.
