photography competition for Balblair fans and WIRED readers, with exceptional prizes to
be won. In September and October we will be encouraging talented amateur
photographers to submit their work to the WIRED team. The brief for entrants is Balblair’s

First prize in the competition is a VIP trip for two to Balblair distillery and a bottle of the
oldest and most exclusive Balblair vintage, the superb 1965 (worth £1,500) !!!
Runner-up will be treated to bottles of each of the vintages from the Balblair core range,
currently including 2000, 1989 and 1978
Additionally, the winning entries will be presented in the January 2012 issue of WIRED
(available from 8th December).
Competition runs from 1st September to 14th October
• Entrants are asked to submit photographs (their own work) which encapsulate the
phrase timed to perfection
