About S&UN Lanarkshire/Alupro Love Where You Live photos

Can you take a photograph which will communicate to exhibition visitors the essential natural characteristics of your area, and the importance of looking after it - particularly as we face up to climate change?

The Airdrie & Coatbridge Advertiser, East Kilbride News, Hamilton Advertiser, Rutherglen Reformer and Wishaw Press have teamed up with Alupro to run a competition to find pictures which show how great the local area is now - and shows why we need to look after it.

If so you are in line to win £3,750 as our national winner, or one of the other prizes in the £10,000 prize pot.

Your pictures can show good things or bad, be beautiful, funny or shocking. The important thing is that you communicate your vision of caring for the natural world, and the impact of human behaviour on the health of the planet.

Photographs will be judged in two subject categories:

* local landscape and wildlife
* people having an impact on where we live

Each entry should have a short caption (no more than 20 words) which describes what the image means to you, and you may enter up to two images for each subject category. Pictures will be judged on artistic merit and the power of the image to communicate to the viewer.

The best images will be displayed at an exhibition at the Birmingham Botanical Gardens in April 2010, when judging will take place, and prizes awarded.
