FAQs

Dear Competition Entrants, the 12 shortlist finalists have now been decided and are proudly displayed here. You can cast your votes now on who you judge the prize winners should be. Please accept our apologies for the delay - the number of entries exceeded expectations and the judging process has therefore taken longer than expected.

» So how do I enter the competition?

It's simple, from the home page click on the 'Enter The Competition' box, then either zoom in using the map options or select the county and town (if you know it) you want to add your entry to. When you're satisfied you've found your location it's time to place a marker.

Placing a marker will take you to a new screen where you can add your garden details and upload an image (which needs to be a jpg, less than 3mb and 720 x 576 pixels). Click submit and you will see a preview of your entry, at this point you have a chance to return to your details to make any amendments before finally submitting.

» Why hasn't my garden been added straight away?

Entries need to be checked by one of our team to ensure content is appropriate for the site. Where possible your entry will be added the same day and we'll notify you as soon as it is so you can take a look.

» Why has my garden been rejected?

The most likely reason we would reject a post is inappropriate content, which is generally anything that would offend, for example:

  • Profanity
  • Threats
  • Prejudiced comments
  • Hate speech
  • Indecent images
  • Potentially liable content

» What if I'm not happy with my garden?

Unfortunately you cannot edit or remove your entry from the site but you can send us an email at entries@photogardens.co.uk and we can remove it for you.
