If you are taking part in this year's Beachwatch Big Weekend you can enter our fantastic photo competition. All you have to do is upload a photo from your Beachwatch Big Weekend 2012 event.
It can be as weird and wonderful as you like, we'd love to see pictures of your unusual items that you collected from the beach.
The competition opens on the 14th September and closes on the 30th October 12am, photos uploaded before or after these dates will not be entered in the competition but you can always upload photos in the meantime for all to see.
