COULD YOUR MAN WIN THE HEAT READER'S TORSO CONTEST 2014? IT'S COMPETITION TIME

We like perving over hot men’s bodies, OK? Nothing wrong with that. So we thought we’d extend the opportunity to you, dear readers: it's time to bask in the greatness of heat’s annual Reader’s Torso Contest.

As well as getting a weekly dose of toned pecs, taut buns and all things six-pack, we’re opening up this bad boy to YOUR man. Got a hot boyf who gets the ladies winking as he walks down the street? Do your mates all drool over your brother? Has your dear old dad still got a raffish twinkle in his eye? (Too weird? Whevs.) We want them all.

First, the prizes: the winning bloke (and whoever persuaded him to enter… that’s YOU!) gets £1,000 of Arcadia vouchers between you (redeemable in Topman, TopShop, Miss Selfridge, Dorothy Perkins and loads of other shops), an all-expenses paid trip to London AND a Reader’s Torso winner’s photoshoot PLUS a poster in heat magazine. Which means his bod will be forever immortalised in glorious 2D.

How to enter:

• Send us one topless photo that clearly shows the entrant's face and torso, and one clear shot of the entrant holding any recent issue of heat to torso@heatmag.com. All entries MUST include both photos in order to be valid.
