#contest all competition - The Garden Wildlife award is new for 2011 and is for anyone who loves taking photos of wildlife in their garden.

Gardens, large or small are often our closest point of contact with the natural world. Capture a garden wildlife moment and you could win a super prize from Wildlife Whisperer.

Any photos of garden wildlife that are entered into to the main six categories will automatically be entered into this category and a winner will be selected by the judges!

Entries from all categories will be considered for this award.

Please remember that whilst we love receiving your great images we don't want you to put yourself in any danger getting that perfect shot, so when you are out and about snapping please don't ever put your safety at risk.

Don't forget to include a description about your photo. This will be displayed if your picture is a finalist, so say where you took the photo, why you took it and give any details you think are amusing or tell the photo's story.

A quick rundown of some of the rules...

* Entry is free.

* Don’t photoshop or change your image, we like them just the way they are.

* Make sure you have taken the photo you entered; entering someone else’s photo is not allowed.

* If you are aged 16 or under you will be asked for a parents/guardians e-mail address when you register. An e-mail will then be sent to your parent or guardian with a link to activate your account and agree to the rules, without this you won’t be able to upload photos.

* Only create one account, if you create more than one you may be disqualified.

* Upload the biggest file you have of your photo, but no bigger than 10MB.

* Please give each photo a title and write a description, these are used at the judging stage and are helpful to the judges to understand your thoughts behind your photo.

* Remember that when a photo is uploaded it is entered into the competition and cannot be changed.

* Make sure you upload your pictures before 00.01am on Tuesday 6 September 2011 (GMT) otherwise it will be too late.
