Our last competition, with prizes, was the Festive Header Competition won by one of our young rockers, Sadie. In her prize acceptance 'speech', Sadie stated that she's wished more members had been involved, so let's not disappoint her in this competition!

Now is the time to add your family and friends to our Facebook Group.

There will be a prize (or prizes) for the winning entry! These will be detailed closer to the date. In addition, the winning image will be used as our group header for St David's day, plus a few days before and after.

Here's how it works:

You do not have to be Welsh, from Wales or even in Wales to enter, but you do need to be a member of the Taff Rocks Facebook Group and have a UK address for posting your prize to.

Or, lay your rock on a Welsh flag to take the picture, but we do need to be able to see the rock, so don't take the photo from too far away.
The list can be endless

The image you use must show at least one Taff Rocks rock
Add your image in the comments on the competition post in the Taff Rocks Group
There is no need to add any text, someone at Taff Rocks HQ will do this for you.
Each entrant can receive an "I ❤️ Taff Rocks" badge if they choose to.

Do not add your address to your image when uploading it!
This is the same for a winner's prize.
Once the postal details have been used, they are deleted. We do not save them.

You can enter as many different images as your wish

If you enter one or one hundured images, you will only receive one Taff Rocks badge (see below)
Your image can include one (minimum) to an infinite number of Wales and Welsh related rocks.
You can move your multiple rocks around and, as long as they're in a different position / setting, you can add that as an entry too.
Don't forget, single rocks are welcome too.

When the competition closes, all images will be added to a post in the group and all members will have a chance to vote on their favourite one. The Admin Team has no control of the choices members make.
