FW Photo Competition 2022: 8 great shots so far
Entries are flooding in for the Farmers Weekly Photography Competition 2022, which is offering readers the chance to share in £500 of prizes.
We’ll also be printing the winners and a selection of others in Farmers Weekly’s bumper Christmas issue.
The closing date isn’t until 15 November, so you’ve still got plenty of time to snap some new shots or dig out some of your old favourites.
To provide some inspiration, here are just a few of the many lovely photos that have caught our eye so far.
