DO you know someone who should be crowned Britain's best dad?
To celebrate Father's Day on June 15, we are launching a search for the bravest, kindest or most devoted dad out there.

The one lucky winner will be showered with nearly £7,000 worth of fantastic prizes, including four tickets worth £1,000 in total to the star-studded Butlin's Big Weekender music festival this summer, where the headline acts include Chesney Hawkes, Blue and Billy Ocean.

On top of that, Britain's top pop will be spoiled rotten with a £500 relaxing trip to Celtic Manor hotel in Newport — with dinner, bed and breakfast for two and a round of golf all thrown in for good measure.
We are also giving away a £700 stay in a luxury safari Tent at Lovat Parks in Cornwall or the New Forest.
