Only one picture will grab the coveted front cover slot, but your photo could still earn you a crate of Hawkstone’s finest lager.
Our pick of the week’s best harvest photo will win a crate of Jeremy Clarkson’s very own brew while combines are rolling.
There’s also a year’s subscription to Hawkstone for one overall winner at the end of the season.
Winners will be announced weekly on our social media channels.
To take part, visit the Harvest 2024 gallery to upload your work. Here are a few top shots from the entries so far to give you some inspiration.
The closing date of the front cover competition is 11.59pm on 1 September 2024. We look forward to seeing your pictures.
