THE Dorset Echo’s most recent book was an amazing celebration of Dorset’s stunning local scenery and the Olympic Games.

Now readers will have the opportunity to see their photographs in the next volume in our popular hardback series, Dorset Villages: A Photo-graphic Journey.

The Dorset Echo has once again teamed up with the Daily Echo and Castle Cameras to launch a great competition encouraging photographers to readers to submit images capturing the beauty, variety and characters of Dorset’s diverse rural life. The top five will be published in the Dorset Echo and Daily Echo and then put to a public vote to choose the ultimate winner.

The winning photographer will claim £100 worth of Castle Cameras vouchers and have their picture and byline included in the book.

The best of the entries may also be included in the new book. We will contact entrants if their images are selected to feature.

Toby Granville, group editor, Dorset Echo and Daily Echo, said: “These are wonderful books and I am sure any photographer would be delighted to see their picture included.

“We are looking for to publishing the next instalment in this hugely popular series.”
