THERE are only days to go until the closing date for the Daily Echo’s photo competition.

Your shots of local scenery are due in by the end of Tuesday, February 28.

A selection of entries will be professionally published in our new book, Dorset: A Photographic Journey 2012.

The best shots will also be put to a public vote for the chance to win £100 worth of vouchers to spend on photographic equipment at Castle Cameras.

As well as spectacular views of the land and sea in Dorset, the new book will feature a special section for the Olympic and Paralympic sailing taking place in Weymouth and Portland.

The competition is a joint venture between the Daily Echo in Bournemouth, the Dorset Echo and Castle Cameras and follows in the footsteps of previous successful photographic books.

All entries must be submitted at A4 size at 300dpi. The photo must have been taken by the entrant.

Entrants must include name, age, address, telephone number, email address, and a brief description of the location or event, time of year.

To enter, email your picture to photos@bournemouthecho.co.uk and include the words ‘2012 Book’ in the subject line.

All images chosen to feature in the book will be credited to the photographer.

Submitting an image is giving consent for the Echo to reproduce the image free of charge in its newspapers, the Dorset: A Photographic Journey 2012 book and other Newsquest sister publications.

Selected images from the competition will appear in our online gallery. It is at the discretion of the editor which images appear.

All entrants will receive confirmation via email of a successful entry. Usual Echo terms and conditions apply.
