We are planning a new photobook, to be published next autumn, which will highlight unusual places, people, events and wildlife of the world. The book, to be published in conjunction with Bradt Travel Guides, will be a glossy tome with a range of images and the stories behind them.

We’ve invited readers to send us photos from their travels, showcasing anything offbeat – unusual foods, quirky art or architecture, strange or amusing transport, weird wildlife or funny signs.

I’m certain Globetrotters will have some great photos from their travels – the most interesting images will be published in the book (which will be distributed through bookshops and the Wanderlust website) and everyone who submits an image will be entered into a draw to win some fabulous prizes.

This is not a photography competition – we’re not looking for technical quality; rather, it’s the story behind the picture and the destination which is of interest.

Details of the book can be found at:

Closing date for submission of images is 20 February 2009.
