IT'S time for all those would-be David Baileys and Annie Leibovitzes to grab their cameras and head for the coast to take the picture that could make them famous.

The Sunday Express has once again teamed up with Old Pulteney single malt Whisky for the fifth Wish You Were Here photography competition.

Over the years our contest has grown to become Britain"s biggest marine photography competition.

Old Pulteney, known as the Genuine maritime malt, has worked in partnership with the sunday express since 2004. the challenge we set is for ordinary, non-professional photographers to help revive the great British tradition of the
seaside postcard.

The competition is supported by Amateur Photographer magazine, RNLi and VisitBritain and offers a prize of "2,500 for the winning shot as well as a trip for two to the Pulteney Distillery, which is the most northerly distillery on the mainland in the far north of Scotland, where the winner will personally fill a bottle of Old Pulteney.

The picture was taken by Laurence Cartwright

The winning picture will also be published in the Sunday Express and Amateur Photographer magazine.

Last year"s winner, Laurence Cartwright"s sunstar Over West Pier, was selected from thousands of entrants from
across the UK featuring everything from boats and shimmering seas to friendly old seaside donkeys.

"It really is a great competition with a brilliant prize," said Laurence, who took the picture of his wife in Brighton.

"The journey to Wick was very picturesque and the manager of the distillery, malcolm, gave us the VIP tour of the Pulteney Distillery, which we really enjoyed."

We are looking for striking images like Laurence"s that epitomise Britain"s coastal landscape and our nation"s
relationship with the sea. every picture must have a maritime theme.

From a classic photograph of a yacht sailing into the sunset or a surfer catching the perfect wave, to a rugged image of fishermen coming into shore, they must be high-quality, creative images that have a story to tell.
