Britain's official guide to canals, rivers and lakes

Sunday 20th July 2008

Your winter pictures on waterscape.com

Send us your digital photographs of the canals in the winter and the best picture will win a waterscape.com mug.

Calling all boaters, walkers, cyclists and nature lovers, we're looking for your best winter photographs of Britain's canals and rivers.

The best images will appear in our features & articles section and any images sent in may be used on waterscape.com next winter.

Send us your photos by 29 February and the best, as chosen by the editor, will receive a waterscape.com mug. The winner will also be announced on this page in March.

What we're looking for

We're interested in any winter photographs you’ve taken - as long as they feature one of Britain's canals, rivers or lakes. Spectacular sunsets, moored boats, walkers, anglers, wildlife...whatever inspires you.
However, we reserve the right to crop or re-size your images so that they fit the format of waterscape.com (hint, we tend to use landscape rather than portrait images).

These two images which won prizes in the Wildlife Photographer of the Year 2007 were taken by the water. Take a look and see if they inspire you:

Water Vole: Urban and Garden Wildlife - winner

London tern: - 11 - 14 year old runner-up

How to send us your photos

Email your photographs to editor@waterscape.com. Please remember to include your name, the date and a few details about where the photograph was taken.

Further details

Try to keep the size of your email below 500K (0.5MB). This should be fairly straightforward as the average size of an image taken by a digital camera is 350K.

Please only send photographs that you have taken yourself for non-commercial and non-professional purposes.

The images may be used elsewhere on waterscape.com. We will also endeavour to credit images used elsewhere on the site, but this may not always be possible.

Waterscape.com cannot guarantee that all photographs will be used on the site and we also reserve the right to edit your comments.
