Farmers make great photographers. This week we've been swamped by entries for the FW photo competition so much so that our email system is pretty clogged up. I'm not complaining but thought I'd try to encourage those people thinking of entering to upload their own pictures on to our website direct as a way of ensuring your snaps do actually get through.
In just the last seven days, we've had over 1000 pictures sent in and they are fantastic. There are six categories in this year's contest with £100 prize money on offer for the best picture submitted in each. The categories are:
* Arable scenes
* Livestock scenes
* Humour
* Children
* General farm activities
* Nature
The closing date for entries is next friday November 28 and for now the best way to get the pictures to us is by uploading them direct to our website at www.fwi.co.uk/photocomp2008. Don't worry if you think it might be tricky to do. There are instructions on the web page on how to put them on the site.
Many thanks for the phenomenal response. The best pictures will be published in print over christmas as well as appear online.
