Do you have an eye for what makes the perfect travel photo? The Independent on Sunday/ Insight Guides 2012 travel-photography competition is your chance to prove it. Readers can take a picture of absolutely any travel destination. The only brief they have is to capture the essence of the place and to submit three outstanding, top-quality colour images (of one destination or more), either digitally or in print.

Eligibility: UK Only

The prizes

First prize: A travel photography commission from Insight Guides (worth £3,000) plus an Olympus PEN Lite(E-PL3) kit (RRP £550). The new retro-styled PEN Lite is a favourite with those who want SLR quality without the bulk of a traditional camera.

Second prize: Olympus E-PM1 kit (RRP £450). The gorgeous new Olympus PEN Mini is one of the world’s smallest and lightest system cameras with interchangeable lenses. It also takes beautiful full-HD movies, and is very easy to use.

Third prize: Olympus XZ-1 (RRP £400). The new XZ-1 camera combines the image quality and adjustability of system cameras and the portability of digital compact cameras.

Adult winners and a companion will be given dinner and an overnight stay plus breakfast at the Corinthia Hotel.

The under-18 prize: an Olympus Tough camera TG-820 (RRP: £270). This next-generation of Tough compacts sets a new benchmark by combining the trademark indestructibility of Olympus with superb picture quality.
