Posted on 30 Oct 2024

Visual storytelling is at the heart of what we do at Rabbie’s. It's for this reason we want to invite you to take part in our photography competition to celebrate capturing the seasons.

We are looking for your very best snaps that #CaptureTheSeasons! We want to see the best of the changing seasons across the UK and Ireland with great prizes to be won.

If you have a photo on tour with us that brings out the atmosphere of Spring, Summer, Autumn or Winter... then we want to see it.

Why Enter the Rabbie’s Photography Contest?

It goes without saying that we adore travel, no matter the time of year. And when you travel with us, we're certain you feel the same way. We're now a B Corp Certified Travel Company and our small-group tours are led by knowledgeable driver-guides in comfortable mini-coaches, while we explore the UK and Ireland’s landscapes in all their glory.

Our photography competition is simply to celebrate these places that we love. It’s so simple to enter and you don’t need to be a professional photographer! We are looking for authentic images that capture the magic of what you’ll see on tour.

How to Enter

Simply share your image(s) with us along with where you shot it and the season it represents for your chance to win! We will pick one winner for each season (4 prizes to be won!) and then asking our followers and customers to vote for their overall winner. 

• 1st Prize - £500
• 3x Runner-up Prizes  - a day tour of your choice for you and a friend.

We've made it super easy to enter - please include the location where the image was shot, as well as the season the image represents. For example: Edinburgh, Scotland (Winter)
