Good morning all,

You’ve asked, we’ve listened…… We know you all enjoy taking photos while on your Just You holiday and sharing them with your friends, the community and us here at Just You HQ. Well, now when you share your photos, you’ll not only inspire the wider Just You community but you also be in with a chance to win a fantastic prize and the title of Just You Photographer of the Year.

Our photography competition will run for a whole year with monthly themes from sunrises to cityscapes and people to wildlife. To enter just email your photos to photo@justyou.co.uk or upload them on the Just You website (www.justyou.co.uk/photo), before the 15th of the following month along with your name, the Just You holiday that you were on and a few sentences about what inspired you to take the photo. Our judges will select a monthly winner and that photo will go forward to the final in September 2018.

Once you have sent us your photos why not share them on our Facebook page or on Twitter using #JustYouInspirations

The monthly themes are listed on the main website. This month we are looking for your photos that show off the best architecture and cityscapes that you have seen on your Just You travels. As luck would have it, in the latest copy of Inspirations magazine there are a few tips on how to get the perfect shot from our wonderful Tour Manager and expert photographer Yvette Barnett.

Remember the most important rule is that your photo must have been taken while on a Just You holiday.

We look forward to seeing your entries, so get snapping.

Kindest regards,

Julia

I would be interested in a clear answer to Rmartin’s question as well. And by the way, was the winner of the October photo competition ever announced? I don’t recall seeing anything regarding the October competition, but I’ll stand corrected if indeed the winner’s name has been released.

I think that a little more up to date information would be appreciated by all, in order to maintain interest in the competition as a whole.

Hi Julia and Amy

February theme was South America and Costa Rica is Central America so I am surprised that you received photos from the Costa Rica tour and also chose the runner up photo from this tour. I did not enter the February competition as I have not yet been to South America!

Kind regards

Hi Jaya

Thank you for your post and your observation. The reason that we included Costa Rica is that in the Just You brochure the region is classed as Central and South America so we wanted to give everyone as much opportunity as possible to be in with a chance.

Please keep the photos coming in we all love looking at them and getting inspired for our next adventure.

Kindest regards

Amy

Hi Amy

Wish I had known this because I had some good photos of my Costa Rica trip, which I could have entered. Perhaps this should have been made clear at the beginning. Never mind, it is too late now.
