Lonely Planet is offering the people of Bristol the chance to show the world what makes our city great by giving one person the chance to have their photograph included in the 2nd edition of the Devon, Cornwall and South West England guidebook. The Capture Bristol competition, to find the best picture of the city, launches this week and will run until July 6.

Capture Bristol sees Lonely Planet team up with Stanfords travel bookshop in Corn Street to search for an image that really captures the heart of the city. Entrants can submit up to five photographs by visiting www.stanfords.co.uk/photo. One image will be chosen to appear in the guide which will be on sale in September. The winner will also receive a copy of Lonely Planet’s best-selling coffee table publication The Travel Book 2.

Lonely Planet’s travel editor Tom Hall said: “This is a great opportunity to show Bristol off to the world. We’re really excited to see the aspects of life Bristolians feel best sum up their city. We’re hoping for an image that is inspirational, engaging and gives a real insight into the unique culture, people, activities and environment.”

The winner will be announced on August 31. Runners up will win copies of the Lonely Planet Guide to Travel Photography.
