Win FREE Wimbledon Merch
The Wimbledon Championships have now concluded, and we've got a treat for you thanks to our friends at the Wimbledon Foundation! đž
We've been given a stash of Wimbledon-branded zip-ups and polos, and we want YOU to have one.

How to Enter
đ¸ Send us your best tennis or Wimbledon-inspired picture; get creative! It could be you playing tennis, dressed in tennis whites, a Wimbledon strawberries-and-cream setup, a homemade racket out of cardboard... whatever tennis inspires in you. Prefer to draw or paint instead? That works too! We'd love to see your artwork.
How to Send Your Entry
Email us at socials@talkofftherecord.org with subject line 'Entry for Wimbledon Merch'.
Once you send your picture or drawing, and if you're lucky enough to be selected, we'll email you to arrange collection.
We'd love to show off some of your entries on our social media! When you send your entry, just let us know:
â Yes, you can share my picture on social media
â No thanks, please keep it private
Good luck!
