all competitions

A picture paints a thousand words, and we'd love for you to help us spot the difference between the past and the present by entering this competition.

Take a look at the old photos below, then recreate any combination of the locality, composition and or subject matter. You don't have to dress up in historical costume, as the idea is to see how far things have changed in 2011. You don't have to take the whole set, just one will do and you can enter as many times as you like.

So why not print out this page, tuck it in your bag and then if you're out and about at any of the places, just have a go!

Prizes galore!

First prize - a money can't buy dining experience

Enjoy a mouth-watering dinner for six, as the waters of Windermere lap around you, without getting your feet wet! We're offering the winner a once in a lifetime exclusive dinner served on the jetty at Windermere at Brockhole - The Lake District Visitor Centre (opens in new window).

Second prize - indulge your inner pirate

Sail away for a morning or afternoon on a self-drive motor boat, courtesy of Coniston Boating Centre, on Coniston Water which inspired Arthur Ransome's classic children's tale "Swallows and Amazons".
