Competition

Win a £2000 holiday for four!

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 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

Our prize for the overall Photo of the Year last year was a fabulous week-long holiday for a family of four (two adults and two children) at Kaprun in the Austrian Alps, courtesy of Crystal Family Holidays, as shown here.

Entries are being invited for this year's Photo of the Year competition, with an exciting family holiday prize being announced in our next issue.

The Judges

Colin Prior

Colin Prior has been hailed as one of the greatest landscape photographers of our time. His work appears in books, calendars and exhibits around the world. Born in Glasgow, his proximity to the Scottish Highlands has a powerful influence that has shaped his passion for the elements. His quest for wild places has taken him more than a million miles, quite literally to the ends of the earth. His four calendar commissions for British Airways won him numerous awards.

Colin’s spectacular panoramic images capture the beauty and eternal quality of the world's wild places. In 2005 he became a founding member of the International League of Conservation Photographers, and is passionate about the environment and our impact on it. He is a Fellow of the Royal Photographic Society. Colin’s son Laurence and daughter Alexandra have travelled with him on his international assignments. Laurence accompanied his dad to Greenland and Alexandra visited Bhutan with Colin, as pictured here, where some of the youngsters had never seen a young European and were fascinated.

Colin runs photographic courses for experienced and new (adult) photographers.
