  • Thanks rrickyuk, it's appreciated

    I notice the Digital Lifestyle prize is the same prize as a competition which closed on the 24th March here.

    run by Haymarket's sister publication stuffTV.

    I guess there's no reason not to enter this one too, but what I wondered is; would there be one prize for each magazine's entry or are the entries 'pooled' I couldn't see any refernce to that effect in the T&Cs.

    Dunno, wouldn't be the first time! We had it with the MESH computer comp on the BBC magazine websites about two weeks ago - it was on about four of them, but no mention that it was the same prize!

    It's very naughty when they do do it, because you worry that you might have been disqualified if you have entered more than one of them!

    Fingers crossed, they are different prizes. And well spotted! icon14.gificon14.gif

    Exactly rrickyuk ! At worst, it's tolerable with the prize being pooled, but it would be underhand if entries were disqualified for entering via different magazine's entry forms. :huh:

    So there have been previous examples of this? It would be interesting to know if there was a winner each on the MESH comp you mentioned.

    Well, the comps were merged by a BG, so I have to assume not. icon9.gif
