Loo've Been Framed

To celebrate the fact that the average person spends three years of their life on the loo, we're wanting to find out just how much the region's folk love their toilet.

To do this, we've launched 'Loo've Been Framed' - a competition to find the region's most kitsch and chintzy lavatory.

To enter, those people who think their latrine is anything but bog-standard just have to send in a photo of it, or upload it themselves onto the company's specially created online toilet gallery - otherwise known as the 'Loo'uvre' - before the deadline date of 15 February.  Following this, an online vote will be used to decide who owns the region's fanciest 'throne'.

The privy which gains the most votes will be declared the region's most loved loo, with its owner - in addition to being flushed with success - receiving £250 in vouchers from interior design specialist Laura Ashley.

However, while there's no doubt most of the region's folk look after their loo, the company has seen a growing trend amongst a small minority of customers for using it to dispose of their unwanted rubbish - with proof of such abuse flowing into our works on a daily basis.

To enter our 'Loo've Been Framed' competition, customers can send their photos - clearly marked with their name, address and contact number - by email to marketing@yorkshirewater.co.uk, or post them FAO Matt Thompson, Press Office, Yorkshire Water, Halifax Rd, Bradford, BD6 2LZ.  They can also submit them themselves by clicking here.The deadline for entries is Monday 15 February. Customers can vote for their favourite picture by clicking here. The winning photo will be announced on Friday 5 March.
