Hollywood actor Leonardo Dicaprio is giving fans the chance to dine with him by supporting a restaurant which helps the homeless.
The Catch Me if You Can actor is going to be in Edinburgh next month.
He has teamed up with Home, a new restaurant supported by East Lothian-based chef Martin Wishart, which helps raise funds for homesless people in Scotland.
Fans who donate £5 to buy a meal and a hot drink for a homeless person at Home will be entered into a prize draw to win a place at a VIP lunch with the star, who will be in the Scottish capital on November 17.
The prize also includes an overnight stay at The George Hotel, first class travel to Edinburgh from within Scotland, and a £1,000 champagne and shopping experience at ROX.
More than 700 people have already entered the draw, which opened this morning. It closes at 7am tomorrow morning.
Last year, a draw by the Social Bite to win lunch with George Clooney in Edinburgh raised over £400,000, enough money to allow the charity to feed Scotland's homeless for a year.
Home opened in Edinburgh in September, with Wishart providing recipes for the restaurant's monthly specials.
Dicaprio will deliver the keynote speech at this year's Scottish Business Awards in Edinburgh on November 17, following in the footsteps of former US president Bill Clinton and Sir Richard Branson.
The winner of the VIP lunch will be selected and informed on Friday, November 11. Participants must be available in Edinburgh on November 17.
