2012_1_9_chicago_detours.jpg Want to win a free architectural tour that includes stops at three classic Chicago bars/restaurants, including drinks and appetizers? Then enter Chicago Detours' ongoing photo contest.

The grand prize is a "Good Times Historic Bar Tour" for you and 12 friends of Billy Goat Tavern, Lawry's, and Phil Stefani's 437. Included in the package (worth an estimated $1,000) are drinks at all three stops, passed appetizers, expert commentary from one of Chicago Detours' tour guides, and shared use of iPads with video clips supplementing the tour.

Chicago Detours is also giving away tours for second and third prize finishers.

We know there are a few of you who have photography of the city that can blow away some of the current submissions. All you need to do is choose a picture that expresses your idea of a “good time” in Chicago. Photos will be judged on originality, expressiveness, and composition.

The contest ends 11:59 p.m. Jan. 21, so what are you waiting for?
