What do you love about Bristol?
Monday, August 18, 2008, 08:00
Whatever you love about it, we want to hear from you.
Along with the Kingsmill West and Wales Region Bakery, the Bristol Evening Post is launching a competition today to find out why you love Bristol, and what you love most about it.
It could be a landmark, an area of the city, a beauty spot with a great view, or just somewhere that is special to you.
Maybe it is where your husband proposed to you, or where you walk your dog every day, or your favourite cycle path.
We would like to know if your favourite place in Bristol is a concert venue, your local shop or a park bench where you sit each afternoon.
Whether you have lived in Bristol all your life, or just moved here, have your say as part of our We Love Bristol campaign.
There will be an entry form in the Evening Post every day this week which you can complete and send back to us, or you can enter online.
So tell us – do you love Bristol because of its music? Because of the buildings? Or because of the people? Do you love it so much that you would never consider moving away?
John Payne, vice-chairman of the Bristol Civic Society, said: "What we find is that people in Bristol like the variety of buildings, especially older buildings and good quality new buildings.
"They like the squares and crescents around the city, and they like places such as Brandon Hill, Castle Park and the Harbourside in particular."
Everyone who sends in a suggestion will be automatically entered into a prize draw and one lucky reader will win £500.
All entries must be received by midday on Thursday, September 11 , and all suggestions will be featured in the Bristol Evening Post on September 19.
