THE iconic Mersey Ferries are the subject of a Daily Post and Merseytravel competition to find the very best ferry photograph submitted to the our Flickr site.

The challenge for talented Flickr photographers is simply to take the very best ferry pictures and submit them to www.liverpooldailypost.co.uk/videos-pictures/flickr-group/

They will be judged by the former picture editor and deputy picture editor of the Daily Post, Richard Williams and Eddie Barford, who will decide on a final shortlist to put before Cllr Mark Dowd, chair of Merseytravel and Neil Scales, chief executive of Merseytravel. They will then decide on the overall winner.

The winning picture will be framed and displayed in the new £10.5m Pier Head Ferry terminal.

The winner and guests will be invited to an unveiling ceremony at the terminal and presented with a duplicate copy of the winning framed picture.

They will also receive a cheque for £100, be given free passage on the ferries for a year and their winning picture will be published in a special Daily Post feature.

The River Explorer cruises set off from the Pier Head and then take in Seacombe and Woodside.

The new terminal at the Pier Head, which is due to be officially opened in a matter of weeks, will include a café and a four dimension theatre which will take visitors on a journey through the music of the Beatles.

A Merseytravel spokesman said: “One great picture from the Daily Post Flickr team that sums up the ferries would mean a great deal to us. We look forward to seeing what they can come up with.”

There are already stunning shots on our picture gallery taken by oneterry, the northshore and tgmorris.

Deadline for entries is Monday, June 1.
