Competition

Sport and the City

Supported by Lonely Planet

Win an SLR Digital Camera & A Trip to Europe

Ellesse and Lonely Planet are not just looking for everyday sports reportage but images that truly capture the spirit and emotion of your city – each photograph should look to capture 3 fundamental principles - Sport, Style and Creativity. You can easily follow the step by step guide and upload the images to the online gallery, along with a caption to create more depth and substance around the image – this is your turn to create an online travel guide!

Four winners will be given the opportunity to travel to London, Barcelona, Rome, or Athens while documenting their trip with a new digital SLR camera.  If you do not want to enter the competition you can still take part by voting for your favourite image each week and you will still be in with a chance of winning Lonely Planet books or Ellesse products.

Each week the "Photo of the week" image will be selected by a judging panel and the winner will bag themselves a stylish Nikon Coolpix camera. The voting on the website is to show your love for your favourite image.

The closing date for the Sport and City competition is 17:00 GMT on 8 August 2010. For further information and to enter please visit the competition website.

• seek usage rights other than for solely and exclusively promoting the contest. Note that a book, posters, cards, or a calendar are seen as legitimate ways of promoting the contest and defraying costs.
  
• seek free usage rights in excess of 5 years
• use the images commercially without the photographers agreement, and such commercial usage is to be rights managed and limited to 5 years.
• make it a condition of winning that an entrant must sign a commercial usage agreement.
