Beefy survival expert Ray Mears is working with Bovril to launch an innovative outdoors photography competition that could land you several hundred quid's worth of outdoor kit.

Not only that, to mark the launch of the competition, we have a jar of Bovril personally signed by Ray to give away.

to be inserted here please.

The challenge is to capture an image of your favourite place to sip a cup of Bovril in the Great British Outdoors, simple eh, and open to everyone from phone snapper through to digital SLR divas.

The first 25 entries each week get a £10 Millets gift voucher, the best weekly submission lands £250 worth of Millets vouchers and when the competition finishes at the end of Novermber, everyone apart from the weekly winners goes into a great big - Bovril- pot for a one-off draw for a £500 Millets voucher regardless of how bad your picture is...

David Titman, Brand Manager for Bovril, said: “For 120 years Bovril has been as much a part of the Great British Outdoors in winter as thick socks, gloves and waterproofs. It’s great to have another icon of the outdoors such as Ray Mears on board for this competition – so get out there, and get snapping!”

Um.. is there an 'adults only' category, Jon?

Sounds fun!

Does this mean he might do an advert for them for the telly too then maybe? Taking up the mantle of old perhaps there, from that other great outdoorsman Chris Bonnington.
