TO CELEBRATE the best of the British summer, the Daily Echo has teamed up with Jessops to launch the first Camera Club competition.

We’re looking for unique photos that best represent summer in Hampshire – whether it be scorching sun or downpours.

The person whose picture stands out the most will have their photo turned into a printed canvas

and have the chance to take a level one or level two photography course, worth £120, where experts will help you improve your talents behind the lens at one of the company’s academies.

The prize is being offered by photography store Jessops, which has just opened a new branch in Southampton.

To enter, post your photo on the Daily Echo Camera Club, which can be found at www.facebook.com/groups/decameraclub, with the caption ‘Summer competition’ and some details about the photo. Only entries submitted up to 23.59pm on July 31 will be considered.
