NELSON PUBLISHING LTD
21st Anniversary 1988-2009
In July, we celebrate the 21st anniversary of our first magazine, since when we are proud to have become the leading specialist publisher of business-to-business magazines for the land-based and outdoor power equipment market that extends from lawnmowers to the largest and most sophisticated farm machinery.
NEW PHOTOGRAPHIC AWARD
To mark the 21st Anniversary of our magazines for the land-based equipment market, we are launching an exciting new Award with the aim of discovering images that depict the world of tractors, farm and grass machinery, garden machinery, forestry, off-road vehicles and outdoor power equipment in their natural setting.

The winning pictures will not be product shoots but will marry the splendour of the landscape or open space with the equipment used in its care or upkeep.
The winners will be invited to the Dealer of the Year Awards Dinner on 8 September 2009.
SIMPLE RULES
1 The picture must contain item/s of land-based equipment
2 The setting or landscape must be shown off to best effect (no pure product shots)
3 The picture must have been taken during the last 12 months
4 Closing date is 15 August 2009
TO ENTER
Simply click here, complete the entry form and attach your photo. You can enter as many photos as you wish, but each entry must be accompanied with a single entry form.
