Could you be the next British landscape photographer of the year?
Entry for the seventh annual Take a View - Landscape Photographer of the Year Award is now open and photographers have until early July to submit their best shots for a chance to win the top prize of £10,000.
The competition was created and pioneered by international landscape photographer Charlie Waite, and entrants to this year's award can enter up to 25 photographs across four categories for a chance to win part of the £20,000 prize fund.
The four categories are Classic View, Living the View, Your View and Urban View. There's also a special class for under 17s so the whole family can get involved.
Take a View prides itself on showcasing the richly diverse landscape of the British Isles in all their glory, from the cliffs and the shipping docks of Dover to the craggy tip of the Outer Hebrides and this year, the 2013 award partner, Network Rail, will be awarding a special prize for the best photograph taken on their rail network.
This summer, five of the biggest and busiest train stations in the country will be hosting a series of entires from previous year's awards with Manchester Piccadilly launching the tour on 8 June.
Charlie Waite will also be on hand the Monday of each exhibition week to offer advice and tips to budding photographers.
All entries to this year's competition must be uploaded via the competition website, www.take-a-view.co.uk and the closing date is 4 July 2013.
