Beat the Winter Blues and Win a Cosy Getaway
The Guardian is inviting readers to share their favourite outdoor winter activities across the UK for a chance to win a fantastic prize. With the days growing colder and shorter, this initiative aims to inspire people to embrace the season rather than retreat indoors.
How to Enter the Competition
Readers are encouraged to submit a tip of around 100 words describing their preferred way to enjoy the British winter outdoors. This could include activities like cold-water swimming, stargazing, birdwatching, brisk walking, or off-road cycling. The most inspiring entry will be selected by Tom Hall of Lonely Planet.
The lucky winner will receive a £200 voucher to be used with Coolstays, a company offering access to over 3,000 unique properties worldwide. The best tips will also be featured in the Guardian's Travel section and on its website.
Competition Rules and Deadline
For legal reasons, this competition is open only to UK residents aged 18 and over. The deadline for entries is Monday, 1 December at 10am GMT. While participants can submit a relevant photo, the judging will be based solely on the written content of the tip. All entries are secure, and personal data will be deleted after it is no longer required for the feature.
