Win a week's
trip for two to Jura to experience the
island's special community spirit. Prize
includes flights, travel and
accommodation paid.
Jura single malt whisky, in partnership
with Olympus, is launching an online
photography competition
www.jurawhisky.com/communityspirit
to find images from across the world
that best embody the theme of ‘community
spirit’.
Three budding amateur photographers are
being offered the chance to win an
unforgettable trip to the island of
Jura, off Scotland’s dramatic West
Coast. The island is famed for its small
and close-knit community of less than
200, united by the island they love and
the warmth of its people. The walls of
the Distillery Visitor Centre are
adorned with photos of Diurachs (the
Gaelic name for the people of Jura) past
and present, who have all played their
part in contributing to the island’s
famous community spirit.
To experience Jura's island life for
themselves, amateur photographers are
invited to submit photographs that best
tell a story of community spirit. These
images could include photos of groups or
individuals that evoke the spirit of the
neighbourhood in which they live, or
even photos of festivals and events that
conjure the character of a particular
place.
Each one of the three winners and their
partners will enjoy a week’s
all-expenses stay in the exclusive Jura
Lodge and a VIP tour of the Jura
distillery and island. The winners will
also receive an Olympus PEN E-PL3 camera
to create a lasting memento of their
visit to Jura, and a photography
workshop on the island from
award-winning photographer David
Nightingale (www.chromasia.com).
To enter, applicants must upload a photo
that captures community spirit onto an
e-postcard template along with a
description in 50 words or less of why
that picture tells a story of community
spirit. Jura will assess a shortlist of
the very best ‘postcards’ and pick three
lucky winners - one from North America,
one from the UK and a third from the
rest of the world.
The competition, which can be found by
visiting
www.jurawhisky.com/communityspirit,
opens today (Monday, 11 June) and will
run for eight weeks, closing on Friday,
3 August.
Entrants are encouraged to share their
e-postcards with friends and family.
Every week for eight weeks, Jura will be
awarding an Olympus VG-170 camera and a
bottle of Jura 16 year old to the photo
which receives the most public votes
during the course of that week.
About the competition:
- Three winners will be selected
for the main prize, including one
from the UK, one from the US and one
from the rest of the world. Not only
that, but every week for eight
weeks, Jura will also be awarding an

of Diurachs' Own Jura 16 year old to
