Been there has transferred to GuardianWitness – visit the site to enter our readers' tips and photo competitions

Since 2005, Guardian Travel's Been there site has been offering a view of world travel through the eyes of real travellers – you – with tips, blogs, pictures and advice straight from the horse's mouth. The Been there site has now closed but we are still running our weekly readers' tips and monthly photo competitions. To enter both go to GuardianWitness. Here's what you need to know:

Been there photo competition

We are rightly proud of our monthly photo competition as the standard of travel photography it generates is incredibly high. This year, all the monthly winners will see their shot mounted by Point 101 and exhibited in the winners' gallery at the Guardian's offices in London at the end of the year. The overall winner receives the trip of a lifetime to Manitoba, Canada, courtesy of the Canadian Tourism Commission. With the chance to shoot Arctic wildlife as well as optional kayaking tours and a stop in Winnipeg, it is an amazing opportunity to stretch your photography muscles among spectacular scenery. September's theme is work and don't forget to read the terms and conditions.
