A competition has been launched to win a signed copy of the St Albans edition of Monopoly - which you can win by explaining your love for the city.

St Albans beat competition from neighbours including Stevenage and Watford to earn a custom edition of the popular game.

More than 30 iconic locations from across the city will be featured in the game which will launch next month.

To celebrate the launch, game producers Hasbro has announced a competition that will see the winner named a 'St Albans VIP - 'Very Important Player'.

To win, all you have to do is answer in 25 words or fewer 'Why I Love St Albans'.

Entries can also be submitted via visual formats with poems, ditties and even one-liners all being judged equally.
