`Take a view', the Landscape Photographer of the Year competition, is the brainchild of Charlie Waite, one of today's most respected landscape photographers. Together with AA Publishing, he created this prestigious competition and award with a total prize fund exceeding GBP20,000, coupled with an exhibition in central London showcasing the best of the competition. Landscape Photographer of the Year, the full-colour book of best entries, has been hugely successful in its first ten years. Like the others before it, the twelfth edition features both classic shots of verdant rural countryside and stark urban landscapes capturing the beauty and diversity of Britain in the 21st century.
