Those of you who like private number plates and free stuff are in luck.

Numberplates.com is running a free photo competition. The prize is a nice 4 Gb Apple iPod Nano, like the one featured in this hi-res photo…

The contest is basically that you send in a decent photo of your personalised number plate, or of any good ones that you might see while you’re out and about. Just upload your pictures to the Numberplates.com website and you’re automatically entered into the draw for a cool iPod.

What have you got to lose? It’ll cost you nowt but a few moments fiddling with a camera and an upload form, and you could end up with the Nano. These are great little players. Room for thousands of songs.

Rules and stuff applies, but it’s all very reasonable and full details are given on the site.

I’ve entered twice already, but keep that to yourself, eh?
