It’s a chance to share the memories you’ve captured on your travels with us! Perhaps you came face to face with a silverback gorilla while trekking through the lush forests in Rwanda. You might have seen the Aurora Borealis dancing amongst the starry sky in the winter wonderlands of Finnish Lapland. Or maybe you captured the perfect shot of the burning sun as it set into the horizon on safari in the South African bush. Pick out your best shots from your experiences of a lifetime and let us experience them through your lens.

Because we know no two trips are the same, and that ‘experiences of a lifetime’ mean different things to different guests, there are no set categories – the images you choose reflect what makes an experience, an experience of a lifetime to you.

The winners will be selected by Scott A. Woodward – a visual storyteller whose photography regularly features in a variety of global publications, including National Geographic Magazine, Condé Nast Traveller, Travel + Leisure, Vogue, The Financial Times and the New York Times.

 

The prizes:

• 1st place: £1,500 off a Scott Dunn holiday

• 3rd place: £500 off a Scott Dunn holiday
