There are four medals (like the one pictured) hidden across Platform and each of them boasts a letter. Follow the clues to find the four medals, rearrange them to spell a word and then send an email to platform-competitions@open.ac.uk by no later than 31 August 2012 to let us know what it is.

Please make the subject of your email ‘Medals comp 2012’ and include your answer, full name and address. Correct entries will all be entered into a prize draw and the winner will receive a camera and accessory kit.

All the medals can be found on Platform, the OU's community website, but to make it a bit easier, as this is such a big site, with each medal there’ll be a clue included to help you find the next one.

Here’s the first clue to get you started… if you wanted to read regular ‘posts’ from Platform’s resident bloggers, you’d probably take a look at this page...

The prize is a Samsung ES17 camera.
