The Italian State Tourist Board Australia and New Zealand has launched a new photo contest that will reward the lucky winner with a free holiday to Italy. 

The trip to Italy includes three nights in Rome and three nights in Venice, but second and third prizes are also particularly appealing. The second concerns Italian treats and it is called "Gourmet Italian Hamper", and it is basket of Italian delicatessen. Finally, the third prize is a 400 page Italy coffee table book in a limited edition.

It is very easy to take part in the contest but all participants should know that they must have been to Italy when taking their pictures. Only three steps are required: apply online with the entry form; send the best photos of Italy and attach a document proving that you have been to Italy while capturing the image.
