The overall

international press conferences in 2011.
Vauxhall Head of
Sponsorship, Chris Hornbuckle said: "We are very appreciative of the
support and the excellent work which is undertaken by photographers.

competition is Vauxhall's way of saying thank you. We have enjoyed an excellent first year of
our Home Nations sponsorship programme and we are keen to promote an evocative
and high-quality portfolio of images which capture the essence of international
