How to enter
Upload your pictures to our harvest gallery and make sure to tell us where your snaps were taken and what they show.
The competition is open to all amateur photographers. However, the photo must be your own work and taken this year.
Entries close on Sunday 3 September; photos can still be added to the gallery after this date, but will not be accepted into the competition.
Cover-worthy images will need to be high resolution (that’s about 2,400 pixels wide or a minimum 2MB file size) and suitable to be cropped to a square.
The winning image will appear on a Farmers Weekly front cover in September 2023.
