January's caption competition


Monday 04 January 10

Happy New Year everyone! As it's a brand new year here's a brand new caption competition to wake your brains up and get you all thinking. This time we've chosen a seasonal photo from the fantastic exhibition Liverpool People by Stephen Shakeshaft at the National Conservation Centre. If you haven't been to see the exhibition yet then you've got three weeks before it closes on 24 January 2010.

If you can think of an amusing (and clean, don't forget) caption for this photo then post it as a comment by the end of the day on Sunday 17 January. The winner will be announced the following week.

Stephen Shakeshaft himself will be judging this month's competition. The lucky winner will get a signed copy of his book 'No Illusions' which includes many of the pictures from the exhibition and more from Stephen's first 30 years as a newspaper photographer.
