Our next photo competition is open for entries!

The 'Wettest Winter on Record' is what they've been saying. And don't we know it.

Even as we step into Spring, some of us are still dealing with the after-effects of all that flooding. And all of us are decidedly bored by the thought of yet another rainy day.

With this in mind, our latest photo competition aims to capture the endless rains that have graced the last three months – the theme this time is:

"Plants and Trees in Water"

Our summer 2013 photo competition is open for entries!

Well, what strange seasonal change this year is throwing at us. In the space of a few days we seem to go from wind and hail to clear blue skies and sunbathing! Still, it keeps things interesting.

One clear sign that we're on our way to summer is how green everything has suddenly become. It took a while to get here, but there's no denying the beauty of British hedging in full swing.

So, this is your inspiration for our summer photo competition:

"A green and pleasant land"

Whether it's an expansive landscape or an extreme close-up, let the colour green guide your lens!

The closing date for entries is midnight on Thursday 29 August 2013. The three winners will be contacted via email by Thursday 5 September.

More than £100 in vouchers is up for grabs!

Our spring 2013 photo competition is open for entries!

Plants are most certainly on the move, and the recent lighter evenings offer the best clues that spring is most certainly here! Creatures are on the move too, so the theme this time is:

"Spring wildlife"

Birds, insects, small mammals, amphibians... maybe even the household pet in the undergrowth? Snap an animal in a garden setting and see if you can make us smile!

The closing date for entries is midnight on Thursday 30 May 2013. The three winners will be contacted via email, including their prize voucher code, by Thursday 6 June.

As before we're giving away a total of more than £100 in vouchers to three lucky winners!

Our March 2013 photo competition is open for entries!

I'm sure you, just like us, are yearning for those warm spring days. So, in honour of the change of season, our theme this month is:

"First flowers"

We've chosen white apple blossom against a bright blue sky to decorate our blog post, but we're sure you've got more creativity! Forest flowers, hedgerows, garden blooms, sleepy shrubs waking up...

The closing date for entries is midnight on Thursday 21 February 2013. The three winners will be contacted via email, including their prize voucher code, by Thursday 28 February.

As before we're giving away a total of more than £100 in vouchers to three lucky winners!

Cameras at the ready, our February 2013 photo competition is open!

And as it's February, the month of romance, the theme is simply:

"Roses"

But don't let that force you down the path of the traditional single red bloom – let your creativity loose! We'd love to see a variety of colour, form and composition.

The closing date for entries is midnight on Thursday 24 January 2013. The three winners will be contacted via email, including their prize voucher code, by Thursday 31 January.

As before we have three prizes to give away!

If you love the outdoors, we're sure that you'll also love wonderful photos of nature.

Even better, we have not one... not two... but three prizes to give away!
