E: 30/09 Upmystreet.com - Win £500 shopping vouchers

Have searched and couldn't find this one anywhere... received it in an email this morning.

Have guessed the end date as I couldn't find one, but only received the mail today so doubt it'd end at the end of this month...:confused:
Win! Hunt for the UK's most loved local gem...
The UK is full of local gems - a tucked-away restaurant or deli, a beautiful building, a perfect pub, a favourite site of natural beauty... The discoveries that make us love where we live.
For your chance to win £500 in shopping vouchers, share one of your local gems by making and uploading a short video of it. You don't need to be a pro - it's easy, even use a mobile phone. You can also view and rate videos in the gallery. The local gem with the highest score will win.

The grand prize
