    TAB Criss Cross Collection 6

    Win a Vauxhall Adam

    Answer:- SMITH

    Entry Form

    The online entry form states that the closing date is 17th July, but the entry form in the mag and the front page of the Criss Cross comps on the website state the 14th Aug. I'm assuming it's a typo on the online entry form.

    The T&C's in the back of the mag don't mention anything about transferring the car into another name, so I'll leave it up to people if they want to enter.

    Winner from issue 3 is Mrs Jill Walton, Preston.

    Good luck! :)

    The mag states that the comp is being run in conjunction with other mags in the range. I have checked the other "collection" mags and they seem to have the same comp listed, so people who buy them, it might be worth checking if it's the same puzzle. Here is a scan copy of it. I hope they are not combining these mags now!

    you've got the right form, it's a typo with the end date.

    The main screen where you search for the mag shows the 14th Aug.

    This is also the comp / answer for this month's TAB Wordsearches Collection, and the entry form (and comp page in magazine) states 14 August 2014 as the closing date.

    Online entry for Word Searches collection also has 14 Aug as end date:

    Word Searches Collection
    Issue 6 Word Searches Collection : 12 June 2014
    Competition closing date 14 August 2014


    ETA - the online system let me enter the answer for both 'Collection' mags - I presume that it's one entry per mag, not one entry for the whole comp? (Won't post the comp post details for Word Searches Collection, until I have an answer for this :) )

    WIN A VAUXHALL ADAM

    Every once in a while TAB run a comp for a big prize across ALL the mags. At the end of 2011 the prize was a Corsa (and was won by a MSE comper). There is a single prize shared across all the mags and the same puzzle will appear in all of them.
    You can enter once for each mag thus gaining multiple entries.

    The mags on sale 12/06 are the first to feature the prize, but some mags that I expect will include the prize will not be on sale until 03/07, so I believe that 14/08 is the correct ending date.

    Hope you don't mind me double-checking :o, but is it always an identical answer for each/every mag which features a specific comp in this way?

    i.e. Vauxhall Adam = SMITH ??

    Thanks :o:)

    The competition in TAB Hide'n'Seek is the same as the one in abbas posting for the Criss cross and the solution is the same (SMITH)

    I didn't post the answer in my original post as I know someone posts
    this on a regular basis.
