Show us your travel polaroids and WIN!

Even in this age of digital gratification, nothing beats polaroids. The saturated colour, the ability to mess with the emulsion, the thrill of watching the image develop - their magic will never pall.
It's a brave (but frankly, adorable) traveller who lugs a Polaroid these days - you've only got one chance to get it right, and with Polaroid planning to discontinue production of its instant films, those perfect snaps are getting more and more expensive. On the other hand, a Polaroid camera is an instant talking point and a ticket into the good graces of children (and security guards) around the world.
Polaroid freaks are getting riled and uniting in an effort to ensure an instant future.
Whatever happens, there's no better time to celebrate the form - so we're holding a 'World on polaroid' competition on the Thorn Tree!
Head to the Community Competitions branch and upload a scan of your favourite travel polaroids to take part (raid those attics!) We'll feature a selection of our favourites on Lonely Planet.com and one overall winner will receive a tasty set of pictorials - The Travel Book, The Africa Book and The Asia Book,
