To enable us to assess the full spectrum of amateur photography we have devised six categories: Best Overall, Best Action, Best People, Best Horses, and Best Junior (under 21). So get creative.
Our top prize – for Best Overall Picture – is Olympus’s most powerful ultra-zoom compact the SP-800UZ. We also have lessons and prints from three leading professional photographers and, for best at the sidelines a case of boutique "Grand Cru" champagne from Soutiran.
All you need to do to have a chance of winning one of these or our other fantastic prizes, is email us your photos to competition@polotimes.co.uk. Photos must each be at least 500K in size and each individual can submit up to five photos. No professional photographers may enter. The photo must have been taken between 1 July and 31 December. With it you need to tell us which category you are entering and enclose a 30-word caption about when and where it was taken, who it features and why you like it. Entries close on the 31 December.
The best photos and the winners will be featured in our January/February edition. So what are you waiting for? Get snap-happy!
