Summer holidays are on the horizon for many of us, but this doesn’t have to be the only excuse to get out your camera and get creative. We are looking for travel images that capture the essence of the season and a destination, not your holiday snaps!

July’s winning image will be mounted and exhibited in an end-of-year exhibition in the foyer gallery at the Guardian’s London office. Once the exhibition is finished digital printers Point 101 will send you a copy of your shot to place with pride on your own wall. All the monthly winners will be entered for the overall prize, an incredible four-night trip to Sörbyn Lodge and the Aurora Safari Camp, courtesy of Artisan Travel.

Please read: You can only enter ONE image per monthly competition.

You must be a UK resident to enter and we need you to upload the highest possible resolution of your shot via GuardianWitness. You’ll also need to provide a caption of up to 80 words on where it was taken, what’s happening in the shot, what inspired you to take it etc.

You must also supply your full name with the caption.

The closing date for entries is 23.00 on 25 July 2015.
