Insure you have a chance of winning
August 17, 2010 by Ally 
Lloyds TSB have launched an interesting photography competition for budding amateur photographers, that aims to seek out the best British weather photographer of the year.
To enter the competition, you must submit your photo capturing British weather to the Lloyds TSB website. The overall winner will be picked on the basis of flair, technique and originality. The entries will be judged by a leading panel of meteorologists and photographers. There's a "photo of the week" prize of £100 which is awarded to the photo with the most public votes, and an overall prize for the best photo of £10,000 (If the photo below wins, I pledge to donate all my winnings to Greener Leith!)
There seems to have been an incredible variety of weather over the last few weeks, all at the same time. And now I've found out about this competition, I'm wishing that I'd managed to take a picture of the amazingly vivid rainbow that appeared over Leith on July 31st. After a bit of searching the Greener Leith Flickr pages, it transpires that the most popular vaguely weather themed photo that has been shared was the one below, of a shopping trolley that got pushed out onto the ice under the Great Junction Street Bridge.
However, given that this photo was taken with a mobile phone, I somehow doubt I'm going to win any points for technique. The competition runs until September 30th 2010. Entrants are encouraged to add their photos to a photo map, and there's already a fair few amazing entries in the Edinburgh area. If you can find the one above, please vote for it! You can take a look at all the entries submitted so far at http://www.lloydstsbweathercompetition.co.uk/category/
You must be a UK resident in order to take part in this campaign.
