Lonely Planet - June Photo Competition
The theme of the June photo competition is Africa or Asia. Yep, it’s pretty broad - note that Asia includes the Middle East! We’re looking for photographs that say something about a country in one of those continents. Your pic can be of people, wildlife, landscapes, architecture, whatever, but if you want to be in with a chance to win it’s got to be a striking and unusual shot. Your photo must be accompanied by a brief paragraph (50-100 words) telling the story behind the image.
The prize is a copy of The Cities Book and a free guidebook of your choice for the winner and a free guidebook of your choice for the 24 runners up. Plus, for every entrant there’s the possibility of having your photograph commissioned for publication in one of the upcoming Lonely Planet titles The Africa Book and The Asia Book! (If your photo is commissioned for the books, you'll need to have a copy of it that is at least 300 dpi at print size approx 297mm x 210mm. You can post a smaller version for this competition - in fact, we prefer you do!). We will contact entrants regarding commissioning their images after the close of the competition.
Entries close 1st July 2006.

If your photo is commissioned for the books, you'll need to have a copy of it that is at least 300 dpi at print size approx 297mm x 210mm. We will contact entrants regarding commissioning their images after the close of the competition.
