FROM the wondrous colours of the aurora borealis to the awe-inspiring blend of expansive landscape and rugged coastline, the county boasts innumerable scenes of spectacular beauty whatever the weather.

But what’s your favourite Caithness landmark? And have you ventured out to capture it on camera yet?

We’re asking all budding photographers to demonstrate their skill behind the camera and their passion for our county throughout the seasons by entering North of Scotland Newspapers’ new readers’ calendar competition.

We’ll choose a short list of 20 images which will then be put forward for a public vote to decide the 12 winning entries for our Caithness Calendar 2015. The image which attracts the most public votes will claim the coveted slot on the calendar’s front cover.

Your photographs will be seen by thousands of people not just in the north of Scotland but around the world, so get clicking now and help show off what Caithness really has to offer.

How to enter:

Simply e-mail your best shots as high resolution jpg files or raw images (min 2MB), caption them with the location and send your name and telephone number to editor@nosn.co.uk with “Readers’ calendar competition” in the subject line. Entries must be submitted by noon on July 1, 2014.

Terms & conditions:

Entrants agree that all images submitted can be used for calendar marketing and publicity purposes by North of Scotland Newspapers.

Photographers will be credited whenever possible. All images must be high resolution (min 2MB), captioned for location and credited, and include the photographer’s telephone number.

Only landscape shape photographs taken in Caithness will be considered.

All entries must be submitted by noon on July 1, 2014. Any photographs entered after this date and time will not be considered.

All photos must be legally obtained, with permission if appropriate. Entrants must be the sole author and owner of copyright for all images entered.
