Countryfile Photographic Competition

Hyde Park Stage

wild weather.



As selected by the judges, the final twelve photos will appear in the 2013 Countryfile Calendar to be sold

in aid of the BBC's Children In Need appeal.


The overall winner, voted for by Countryfile viewers, will be able to choose from a range of the latest

photography equipment to the value of £1,000.


The judges will also choose their favourite entry. This photographer will be able to choose equipment to

the value of £500. Last year's calendar raised more than £1.2m for Children In Need.



Press the red button after Sunday's programme to view the twelve finalists and details on how to vote for

your favourite.
