Last chance to become the British Weather Photographer of the Year

There are just 30 days left to enter the British Weather Photographer of the Year competition and potentially scoop the £10,000 prize.

The amateur competition, organised by Lloyds TSB Insurance, has been open since April and closes at midnight on 30th September 2010.

But there is still the chance to win; simply take a photograph of the British weather and upload it to the competition website at www.lloydstsb.com/weathercompetition.

The expert judging panel, featuring celebrated weather photographers Roger Coulam and Mark Humpage, weatherman Simon Keeling and editor-in-chief of Practical Photography magazine James Andrews, will shortlist 12 finalists, and then choose the overall champion.

Their decision will be based on the flair, technique and originality demonstrated in capturing the British weather.

So far more than £2,000 has been given away in weekly spot prizes of £100 as voted for by the public, and the lucky recipient of the £10,000 top prize will be presented with their award at a grand final event in November.

The Lloyds TSB Insurance Weather Photographer of the Year has been organised by the leading insurer, which is proud to sponsor the Channel 4 weather.

Paula Llewellyn, Head of Marketing Services at Lloyds TSB Insurance said:

“As a proud sponsor of the Channel 4 weather, we launched the Lloyds TSB Insurance Weather Photographer of the Year Competition so Brits can show us what they love about the climate, and what ‘British Weather’ means to them.”

Lloyds TSB Home Insurance provides cover for a range of weather related problems such as windstorm and lightning damage.
