Christopher Wilmot-Sitwell, director of cazenove+loyd, said: “We are looking for an inspirational photographer, who captures the beauty and essence of a country’s culture, people, land or wildlife.

“Many of our clients are amateur photographers and we are encouraging them and other keen photographers to send in images that reflect individual experiences and a passion for travel.”

The judges are Leica UK managing director, David Bell, photographer Will Cheung and award-winning journalist Jonathan Margolis. 

The judges will select a monthly winner who, in addition to winning a Leica prize, will go forward to the final which will be voted online by the public.  The competition is open to anyone over 18, including journalists and professional photographers.
