In the run-up to Diabetes Week and the Football World Cup, Diabetes UK has launched a keepy uppy competition to find the most unusual location that a person can do a series of keepy uppies.

The competition is open to all and prizes include a signed football from the Guinness World Keepy Uppy Champion Dan Magness, a summer holiday kit and Toni and Guy hair products.

Have some fun

Dan Magness said: "I am supporting the Diabetes UK Keepy Uppy competition which marks Diabetes Week 2010. Healthy lifestyle is important for everyone, especially people with diabetes.

"To become the Guinness World Keepy Uppies Champion I kept a football up for 24 hours in May 2009. Keepy Uppies are great fun and also a brilliant way to keep fit. Enter Diabetes UK's competition and be in with the chance of winning some fantastic prizes including a signed football from me."

Ideas for you

Ideas for unusual locations could be in a library, in front of a famous monument, on the beach or on an ice rink. Remember to stay safe and always seek permission to film and use a ball where appropriate.

Films should be no longer than 30 seconds, and the deadline for entries is Sunday 19 June 2010. The best films will be used throughout the site.

Your videos can be submitted through the following channels:

- YouTube
- Facebook
- Flickr
