THE Dorset Echo’s last book celebrating our stunning local scenery was a major hit...and now you have a chance to have your photo of Dorset published in our next superb volume.

And you can also win £100 of vouchers for photographic equipment from Castle Cameras.

The Dorset Echo has teamed up with the Daily Echo in Bournemouth and Castle Cameras to launch a great photo competition for readers to send in the finest pictures they have taken of Dorset’s landscapes and stunning seascapes.

The ones judged the best of the bunch will be published in the Daily Echo and Dorset Echo and put to a public vote.

The photographer whose picture is then voted the best by readers will win a first prize of £100 worth of Castle Cameras vouchers and will have their picture included in the book.

The best of the rest will also be included in the next Echo book of Dorset photographs, which will not only feature the beautiful views of the county but will also have a special section for the Olympic sailing in Weymouth and Portland.

Entries must be submitted at A4 size at 300dpi. The photo must have been taken by the entrant.

Entrants must include their name, age, address, telephone number, email address and a brief description of the location or event, time of year etc.

To enter, email your picture to us at <&bh"mailto:newsdesk@dorsetecho.co.uk">newsdesk@ dorsetecho.co.uk<&eh> and in-clude the words 2012 Book in the subject line.

All images chosen to feature in the book will be credited to the photographer.

Submitting an image is giving consent for the Dorset Echo and Daily Echo to reproduce the image free of charge in its newspapers, the Dorset: A Photographic Journey 2012 book and other Newsquest sister publications.

Selected images from the competition will appear in our online gallery. It is at the discretion of the editor which images appear.

All entrants will receive confirmation, via email of a successful entry. The closing date for entries is February 28, 2012.

Usual Echo terms and conditions apply.
