Are you a Creative Tourist?

UPDATE: this competition is now closed, you can read about the winner here

To celebrate our (promising looking) forthcoming summer, we’re launching a photo competition to help find the most ‘creative tourist’ out there. We’re looking for images that capture what being a creative tourist really means; is it the places you go, the people you’re with or what you do when you get there?

Just upload your image to our Flickr group to be in with a chance of winning. The prize is a signed copy of the Dorothy Bohm catalogue that accompanies the major retrospective of her work currently showing at Manchester Art Gallery, plus a luxury short break in Manchester (comprising of two nights at the Radisson Edwardian, including breakfast, a three course meal and bottle of wine at City Café and a meal for two and a bottle of wine in the Café Bar and Gill). Closing date: 3rd September.  Terms and conditions apply (see below).
