�The London to Brighton Veteran Car Run is a very visual event and perfect for anyone with an interest in photography,� said LBVCR Event Director Roger Etcell.  �The 60-mile route from London's Hyde Park to Madeira Driver in Brighton offers plenty of photographic opportunities and is completely free for spectators. We are looking for are images that capture the spirit of the LBVCR, the colourful characters and the wonderful cars they drive.� 

�We also wanted to include a mobile phone category because not everyone has the latest professional photographic equipment,� Mr Etcell continued. �However most people have a camera phone and the LBVCR is all about giving opportunities to everyone.  The main prize of a passenger ride is highly sought after with passenger rides with entrants not usually available.  The winner of the 2006 LBVCR Photographic Competition will have a unique perspective of the LBVCR on next years Run and I'm sure they will want to take their camera along to capture their day.�
