The winner gets a luxury cruise, a year’s supply of flowers and an awesome family photoshoot in London. So tell us why YOUR mum deserves to be pampered.

Does she juggle several jobs to be there for you?

Maybe she’s an adoptive or foster mum who goes the extra mile and has given up so much to help others?

Perhaps she sacrificed her dreams for you to achieve yours?

Or maybe she has overcome an illness or tough time recently and you want to let her know how much you love her.

The winner and their nominator will enjoy a £3,000 photoshoot package in our studios at News UK, with pampering from top stylists, and a wonderful champagne lunch.

Our lucky mum will also win a week-long once-in-a-lifetime, all-expenses-paid cruise on board Royal Caribbean International’s Odyssey Of The Seas — an awesome experience that is worth more than £6,600.

The trip will start and end in the historic city of Rome and call at four incredible ­locations — the Greek islands Santorini and Mykonos, the Unesco World Heritage ruins of Ephesus in Turkey and the island of Capri on Italy’s beautiful Amalfi coast.

Royal Caribbean Vice President Ben Bouldin said: “We are excited to be partnering up with The Sun on Sunday to provide this incredible prize as a once in a lifetime trip for one deserving mum! With Mother’s Day coming up on 27th March, we’re proud to be able to champion so many of the UK’s amazing mums, giving the chance for one winner to sit back and relax on our 7-night Greek Isles Cruise onboard our stunning new ship, Odyssey of the Seas.

“As the ultimate re-charge, this trip will start and end in the historical city of Rome, covering three countries in one go; Italy, Turkey and Greece with stops at four incredible locations: Santorini and Mykonos in Greece, the UNESCO World Heritage ruins of Ephesus in Turkey and the island of Capri on Italy’s beautiful Amalfi coast.

“On board , guests can enjoy unforgettable experiences and stay in one of our luxurious balcony rooms with relaxing sea views. The lucky winner can choose from delicious dining options, check out the immersive, high-tech entertainment space, Two70®, enjoy live performances at Music Hall or soak up the sun at the newly designed resort-style pool deck.”
