Xtreme Tea Drinking!

Help us celebrate Stoke-on-Trent being the World Capital of Ceramics!

Join our competition 

Send us a photograph of you drinking your cup of tea out of a Stoke-on-Trent mug in somewhere unusual. Maybe you will be up a mountain, having a picnic in a desert, on a bungee jump, at a summer festival, enjoying time at your favourite place... the possibilities are endless! The more unusual the better! 

You could win one of these fantastic prizes:

A fabulous Wedgwood Teaset up to the value of £550 in a pattern of your choice, a new generation Flip video recorder, Alton Towers VIP ticket for all of their extreme rides and a weekend break in Stoke-on-Trent including accommodation and attractions tickets.  The winning photograph will also feature in next year's Visit Stoke-on-Trent guide.

1st Prize!

Wedgwood Tea Set A fabulous Wedgwood Teaset in the pattern of your choice worth up to the value of £550!

What you need to do!

All you need to do once you have taken your photo is to fill out the very simple application form with your details and then forward this and your photo to images@stoke.gov.uk. All the good images will be put onto facebook and then put forward to be judged in the competition. The deadline isn't until 30th September 2010 so you have lots of time.

It doesn't have to be tea, it can be coffee, it can be your favourite mug or your granny's cup and saucer, it can be a photo of you with a teapot or a priceless dinner service. You can be somewhere unusual, extreme or just beautiful!

The important thing is it must be Stoke-on-Trent pottery - this could be Wedgwood, Royal Doulton, Emma Bridgewater, Churchill, Aynsley, Portmeirion, Moorland, Royal Stafford... the choice is endless- just check out the backstamp on the bottom of your cup or back of your plate!

Below you will find a selection of photo's to help inspire you! Happy snapping!
