"Take a creative or original photo with the most wonderful pose or setting imaginable wearing an Auto Trader 'I  AT' T-Shirt and win a trip for two to the Big Apple."

That was the brief that became one of Auto Trader's most successful trade competitions, wwith over 1,000 photos sent in from all around the world - in the air, under the water and in all sorts of weird situations. From the sublime to the ridiculous, we've shortlisted 25 of the best for your viewing pleasure.

Congratulations to John (far left below) at Rettendon Car Sales who'll be taking a friend to sample the sights and sounds of New York City.
