WOULD you love to say thanks to the best mum in the world, with luxurious prizes that can make her Mother’s Day last all year?

Perhaps you know a mum, grandmother or foster mum who goes above and beyond. Maybe you want to honour someone who has sacrificed personal dreams for her children’s, or dealt with illness or tragedy.

Today, we launch our Mum Idol competition, which will lead to one lucky mum getting thousands of pounds worth of goodies and experiences for Mother’s Day on March 30.

Our lucky winner, and up to three guests, will enjoy two nights at the
 London Hilton on Park Lane, in the heart of Mayfair.

She and her family will spend the night in an executive room with spectacular views over Hyde Park, dining at the upmarket Park Corner Brasserie.

Our winner will also get a family getaway worth up to £1,800 at a Eurocamp destination of her choice.

The mum who goes that extra mile can take three adults, or two adults and up to four children, on the amazing break.

The winner also gets a year’s supply of pizza worth £1,000 from
 Pizza Express, plus a year’s supply of treats worth £400 from award-winning chocolatier Lily O’Brien’s.

Our Mum Idol will even get a year’s membership to
 Snap Fitness UK, worth another £400.

Gather Gourmet Cocktails will send her yummy tipples, such as Salted Caramel Banana Colada, Spicy Mango Margarita and Pineapple Rum Punch, each month for a year, worth £500.

And a
 luxury photo shoot will create lifelong memories.

The winner will be picked by a panel of judges, led by Apprentice star and mother-of-two
 Karren Brady.

She said: “As a mum, it’s easy for us to put ourselves last and everyone else first.

“It’s a delight to be head judge for The Sun on Sunday’s Mum Idol competition. I can’t wait to reward a deserving mother figure.”

The nominated mum must be based in the UK or Ireland. Full T&Cs are online. The closing date is March 18.

    Is anyone else having trouble with the form, it’s asking for a state, but this is supposed to be uk based?

    Scrolling a bit further down gives an alternative entry route: 

    TO nominate a mum, or someone you love just like a mum, email sundayfeatures@ the-sun.co.uk with “MUM IDOL” in the subject line telling us why she is a super mum. Include your name, address, contact number and picture of you both.
