Backyard Travel, the online boutique travel agency specializing in unique and insider tours to Asia, is currently running an incredible competition offering one fortunate winner with an amazing $8,000 tailor-made trip to Asia.

On top of the fabulous first prize, Backyard Travel has been giving monthly prizes to the very best entries submitted, and have recently chosen the latest winner for the month of May.

Pyae Phyo Thet Paing took this brilliant photograph of young monk novices looking out through the windows of an ancient monastery in Bagan, Myanmar.

As the best entrant from the last month Pyae wins a copy of Steve McCurry's wonderful photo-book 'South Southeast', a collection of powerful images from Southeast Asia, our very own 'Backyard'.

The exciting competition has now been running for over four months and ends on December 14, 2014. The winner of the exceptional first prize has the opportunity to enjoy the Asian vacation of their dreams, with an $8,000 budget to visit any of the eight countries Backyard Travel provide tailor-made tours to. Backyard Travel's expert team of Travel Specialists will work with the winner to formulate a tailor-made trip to turn their dreams into reality.

To stand a chance of winning this once in a life time prize, entrants have to send in an inspirational photograph that they have taken of their home town or “Backyard”, which tells a unique story.

The contest can be entered simply by submitting a photo via Backyard Travel's Facebook page at: http://woobox.com/fj332y
