The Times travel photo competition

The Times' Online Travel section has launched a citizen traveler photography competition. In their own words:

Citizen journalism has transformed the news - it's not just being pumped out to us from a screen in our living rooms, we're part of it.

Camera phones and pocket-sized technology make us all witnesses in a world that watches itself more and more.

What the Times' Travel section wants now are citizen travellers. Show us the over looked and the never looked-at: details; big pictures; unexpected glimpses.

Travel is changing, and we want to guide you around the world in print and online and show you what you could do with your leisure, your work, your play - but with the growing sophistication of tour operators and the burgeoning of independent travel, we're hungry for snapshots of your experiences.

We want amateur pictures from passionate travellers. Take our breath away, surprise us or amuse us and you could win a holiday and see your picture in print in the Travel section.

To wn our first prize of a weekend for two in Lisbon, we must receive entries by February 25.

The winning photograph will be published in The Times and on Times Online on Saturday Mar 1.

Send us your best shot with no more than 50 words telling us when, where and why to travelpictures@timesonline.co.uk
