Guardian Green Travel List 2011

Nominate an innovative green travel initiative and have the chance to win a holiday. First, read about some of the projects featured in last year's Green Travel List

Nominate an innovative green initiative for the Guardian Green Travel List 2011 in association with GreenTraveller.co.uk and you have the chance to win a holiday!

The Guardian's Green Travel List (guardian.co.uk/travel/series/green-list-2010) is a guide to the world's greenest travel companies, those that have shown evidence of commitment to the environment, community and place in an innovative way. If you've been inspired by a company, project, organisation or eco initiative linked to travel, we'd love to hear about it.

Send suggestions by 9 April 2011 2011 to: info@greentraveller.co.uk, stating: 1. The name of the project and relevant website. 2. The category you'd like to nominate it for, from the following: accommodation; transport; days out or visitor attractions; community projects; holidays. 3. Why you think it should be included in the Green Travel List 2011 (200 words max). Those who email a suggestion by midnight on 9 April will be entered into a prize draw. Three winners will be selected at random and will receive one of three green holiday prizes:

1. A six-night easy cycling holiday, Chateaux of the Loire, with Inntravel (inntravel.co.uk), including rail travel from London, for two people, worth around �1,700. Routes cover 12-28 miles a day, with time to visit vineyards, historic abbeys and fairytale chateaux. The holiday includes accommodation at four hotels, breakfast each day, plus four dinners, luggage transfers, cycle hire, cycling notes and maps, Eurostar and TGV rail travel from London and local transfers. The prize must be taken by 31 October 2011 and is subject to availability.

2. A two-night break at the luxurious but sustainable Scarlet Hotel (scarlethotel.co.uk) in Mawgan Porth, Cornwall, for two people, including one evening meal in the restaurant. The prize will be valid until 19 December 2011 and is subject to availability.
