Sir Richard Branson is challenging photographers to capture the beauty of their landscape as part of a campaign championing the British countryside.
The national photo competition is part of Virgin Balloon Flights’ new Love Our Landscape initiative which is encouraging people to explore rural Britain more and to support its communities.
Entries can fall into one of several themes including landscape, woodland, wildlife or farm life and be taken from a balloon, of a balloon or at ground level.
Photos must be of mainland Britain and need to be submitted online via a competition application on the Virgin Balloon Flights’ Facebook page.
Two winners, one chosen by a panel of judges and one by public vote, will receive a Virgin Balloon Flight for two worth £238, a £200 Amazon voucher and a £100 Roots & Wings Organic hamper.
A further ten pictures will be selected to join them in a 2014 Love Landscape charity calendar raising money for the Woodland Trust, The Wildlife Trusts and The Prince’s Countryside Fund.
Sir Richard, an avid balloonist and Virgin Group Founder, said:
“We’re challenging amateur photographers to come up with a picture that captures what is so special about our countryside for a chance to win an unforgettable balloon flight and other fantastic prizes.”
Mark Simmons, a Virgin Balloon Flights pilot in the south west of England, said:
“Each year we see some incredible photographs taken from our balloons and for the Love Our Landscape competition we’re looking for photos, from the air or ground, which tell a story about the local rural landscape.”
