Regent Street online are running a competition to find photos which epitomise Britishness by portraying what’s great about Britain. You can upload your entry on the site until 31 December 2008. Photos will be judged by their originality, composition and creativity. The top ten photos will be professionally mounted and displayed in Regent Street and the overall winner will receive £500 of shopping vouchers to be spent in Regent Street shops and £300 worth of Jessops vouchers

When I did a Flickr search for “Regent Street London”, the majority of the photos which appeared were of the Apple Store in Regent Street. Well, we do live in multi national world.

I think that the judges are facing a difficult task as I’m just not sure what constitutes “what is great about Britain” beyond the run of the mill, London buses, stately homes etc. Although I’m Scottish, I also think of myself as British, yet I’m not sure if the judges would perceive a Scottish photo as being very British.
