Photo Competition for Visitor Guide! – 26 July

Just over one month left to enter our photography competition...

We launched it to find a new cover image for the county’s flagship visitor guide Visit Lincolnshire 2011, and we’d like to invite you and your visitors to take part.

The winning photo will be printed on 70,000 visitor guides and distributed all over the UK.

The guide attracts visitors to Lincolnshire for short breaks boosting the current worth of Lincolnshire’s Visitor Economy, at £958 million.

“Images are an essential part of the visitor guide and we have launched the competition to give residents and visitors the opportunity to show what they see as the most iconic images of the county,” said Emma Tatlow, Head of Marketing at Visit Lincolnshire. “After all, who knows the most picturesque areas better than residents and visitors?”

The deadline for entries is 26 July, 20 photos will be shortlisted and exhibited for two weeks in the in Kodak Express shop, Guildhall Street, Lincoln for people to view.

The winner will be picked shortly after the exhibition and will have the honor of their photograph being the front cover of the Visit Lincolnshire Guide 2011.

Aviation Opportunities

This year is the 70th anniversary of the Battle of Britain and we’re flying the county flag to highlight Lincolnshire’s aviation history to visitors and local residents – and you could be doing the same.

(Did you see our national press coverage in the Telegraph?)

Many residents and visitors will be seeking to pay tribute, and see for themselves, a sample of the UK’s aviation heritage.

By working together we can help raise the profile of aviation in Lincolnshire and ultimately boost the visitor economy of the county.

Created in December last year, the Aviation Heritage Lincolnshire project will ensure individual aviation museums in Lincolnshire benefit from a shared marketing approach in order to attract more visitors; this will be co-ordinate with support from Visit Lincolnshire.

Over the coming three years many events are being planned to celebrate aviation heritage in Lincolnshire; visitors and local residents will be looking for more information so why not contact the Aviation Heritage Partnership team to discuss how you can support the project, and how the project can help boost business for you!
