New job? Growing family? Epic road trips with mates? Whatever your moment looks like, we want to see it.

All you need to do is capture the moment you realised it's time for @AutotraderUK, and make it unforgettable. A video, a picture, a poem, an interpretative dance… there are no limits.

One brilliantly creative entry will drive away in a brand-new Mini Cooper SE. And with 10 £300 spot prizes randomly waiting, everyone has a chance to win something. Keep reading to see how you can make your story the one that takes the prize.
