While your excellent nominations to date suggest you need no incentive to divulge your favourite Green Spaces, we've decided to give you one anyway.

No complaining please, but all readers who nominate a Green Space in our 2008 awards will go into the prize draw to win a five-night trip for two to Venice via Zurich and Turin - including first class train travel and four-star hotel accommodation.

We've teamed up with Railbookers.com to come up with this top prize.

The lucky winners will start their journey at London St Pancras or Ebbsfleet International from which they will travel via Paris to Zurich in time to spend the evening and an overnight stay in this charming city complete with historic old town and beautiful lake.
