Lonely Planet hosts a weekly travel photography competition on our Flickr page. The themes can be anything from great hats you’ve seen on your travels to moments of adventure.
How it works: Each week we accept entries for a new challenge and vote on last week’s entries. You don’t need to enter a photo to vote (just be a member of the Flickr group), so come along and vote for your five favourites. The first-placed winner, selected by popular vote, gets a guidebook of their choice. Any questions? Ask the group moderator, Mark.
This week’s competition theme: Seaside. Last entries accepted on Monday 28th May.
