Voting has now begun on Backyard Travel's photography competition in which the incredible winning prize is a US $8,000 trip to Asia.

Backyard Travel have been asking for photos to be submitted that have been taken of people's hometown or city, or ones that tell the story of their culture or heritage. The taker of the winning picture will receive the extraordinary sum of US $8,000 to spend on a Backyard Travel tailor-made trip in Asia.

As the deadline for submissions has now passed all the photographs in Backyard Travel's gallery can now be voted on, thus the process has begun to find the winner. Anyone with a Facebook account is allowed to have one vote, and when voting ends on 14th December 2014, the 10 most 'liked' photographs will go into a final group from which the winner will be chosen.

Backyard Travel provides tailor-made luxury tours filled with insider experiences and with the prize of US $8,000, the winning photographer will work with Backyard's team of Travel Specialists to create their very own holiday of a life-time in Asia.

 “Whether staying in a luxury resort on an idyllic Thai island or riding on an unforgettable hot air balloon ride over stunning temples in Bagan, the options for incredible holidays in Asia are endless.” said Backyard Travel's General Manager Maeve Nolan. “With their $8,000 winnings the winner will be spoilt for choice on how to spend this once in a life-time prize.”
