We want you to be part of I LOVE OXFORDSHIRE
Your Opinions are part of Oxfordshire’s story, and we’d like them to be part of ours too.
Send us your opinions, reviews and stories.
Think of it as writing a letter to the newspaper or doing a Trip Advisor review.
If we publish your piece then we pay – if you get star letter we pay more and you’ll be helping your chosen charity too – it’s as simple as that.
Give us an Opinion, a Review or a Story and help your chosen Charity
Your opinions, stories, anecdotes and reflections on life in Oxfordshire will be of great interest to our readers and we’ve made it really easy for you to tell them.
Just like our competitions, it’s not just you that benefits. We also give an additional 50% of prize money to your chosen charity too.
What to Write about
You could write a review of your best Oxfordshire restaurant experience (or your worst), review a show you’ve seen, tell us about some fascinating local history, or highlight an issue in your community.
You don’t have to be a super writer to give us your opinion, you just need to have something interesting to say about life in Oxfordshire.
