New this year!!!...The GYO magazine will be featuring this competition in the magazine over a series of months so your entries may actually end up in print!!

As last year, they have kindly offered to provide small prizes to the top 3 winners on 'cumulative points'

..so get in loads of piccies peeps! ( the higher quality the better- but that isn't essential)

Good luck peeps- and enjoy!!

[Small pumpkin]

Thank you Nicos you just answered my one and only question. Where do I post photos & when? This is all very new and very very exciting

[Nicos]

Looking forward to loads of entries from everyone.
Don't worry about the quality of the piccies- see it as a way of showing off your produce to like minded people ( ....and then you can also enjoy eating them! )...food that it- not the piccies

[Nicos]

Is now open!!!!

Good look everyone- we're all looking forward to seeing your entries...(although it's nice to aim to win your class, it's also nice to share what you have produced...so go on- even if you don't think it will win- go for it- you may be surprised! )

As an Added Incentive:-

Everyone who enters 5 or more classes can choose 5 packets of seeds from the VSP, provided they meet the usual Seed Swap criteria (have been members for one month and have made 50 posts)

So come on everyone, get those entries in - I want to give away VSP seeds
