A limited-edition canvas print of the famous ?Tennis Girl? photo from the 1970s is being given away in a competition run by Amateur Photographer.

The print ? measuring 60x80cm and worth £300 ? is one of just 1,850 released worldwide by Pyramid Posters.

Each is numbered and signed by the photographer Martin Elliott and comes with a certificate of authenticity.

Captured on a tennis court at Birmingham University in the summer of 1976 ? using a Nikon F1 camera and Kodak film ? the image attained iconic status when it was made into an Athena poster.

The girl in the picture was the photographer?s then girlfriend, Fiona Butler. Apparently, she couldn?t even play tennis at the time.
