E: 21/01 Win a week's stay on Jura, cameras + whisky (Photo effort for holiday!)

Isle of Jura Whisky (log in / register as a Diurach)

To enter for the holiday upload your photo of the most inspiring place you’ve visited and explain why in 50 words. Jura will decide the winners from the most popular postcards.

The main prize includes -
  • A week’s trip for two to Jura Lodge (worth around £3000)
  • Flights, travel and accommodation paid
  • VIP guided tour of the island and distillery
  • Photography masterclass with National Geographic’s Jim Richardson
  • Your photograph turned into a postcard for sale (including a percentage of sales)
  • An Olympus E-PL1 camera (worth £500)
The Winner and the Guest must be available to travel between the dates of 1 August 2011 and 19 August 2011

There will also be 8 postcard-of-the-week winners, each receiving an Olympus FE-5050 camera.

Voters:
In addition, all voters go into a draw to win bottles of 10 year old Jura "and other wonderful prizes". One winner will be drawn once a week at random from the votes received for the duration of the Prize Draw. You can vote up to 23rd January. (I've put the earlier end date in the title to avoid confusion and stop anyone missing out)

Good luck :)
