Farmers Weekly readers who enjoy taking photos will have a chance to see one of their shots grace the magazine’s front cover in our 2014 Harvest Highlights picture competition.

All you’ve got to do is send us your best shots of the season, either by emailing them to fwfarmlife@rbi.co.uk or uploading them to our Harvest Highlights photo gallery .

We’re looking for a snap that captures the spirit of this year’s experience, but it could focus on the crop, the combines, a tractor, people hard at work or perhaps a more unusual aspect.

The winning picture will appear on a cover of Farmers Weekly towards the end of the summer or in the early autumn. We’ll announce a closing date later in the summer (it depends how early or late harvest is), but when we spot the perfect picture we’ll use it, so don’t take too long to send in your entries!

How to enter

Upload your pictures direct to the Harvest Highlights photo gallery or email them to fwfarmlife@rbi.co.uk

Remember to include a little bit of information about where it was taken and what’s happening.

Pictures need to be of high enough resolution for us to print, but please keep files under 4MB.

Tips on taking a potential cover shot

Have a look at the sort of pictures that usually appear on the front of Farmers Weekly.

Close-ups can often work better than long-distance, pastoral shots.

Give some thought to the composition, as we’ll need a picture that either is – or can be cut to become – a square shape

The picture would also need a little space on it for us to add some cover lines (these are the words that you’ll see on any cover of Farmers Weekly).

We’re particularly keen on photos featuring combines/tractors or other machinery.
