    Hi,
    How do i post a competition on this site? Can you help?

    You have to post messages for a certain amount of time to prove the validity of your account before you're given permission to post competitions and links etc.
    Where would we be without tea?

    Just post the comp as normal & miss the www or http bit off the link.Follow this guide:

    6 How do I post a comp on here?
    Firstly, do a thorough search (see above) to ensure the comp is not already on MSE.

    Check you are in the Competitions Time Forum & then click ‘New Thread’, from the link at the top or the bottom of any main forum page.

    A new page is displayed for you to fill information about the comp you want to post.

    1. Put the date at the beginning of the title box, & please use the Forum standard, below.

      E: XX/XX, For Example, E: 02/04 Win a .....

      This makes things a lot easier for the BGs & Compers (like you) to find comps that are ending. If the comp ends within 12 months then it is fine to put the dd/mm date as explained above. If you have a rare comp that has more than a year to the end date then please stick to the posting convention above then put a space & put the year in brackets - but only if it is MORE THAN 12 months ahead.
      E: 02/04 (2012) Win....... <-Only if comp is more than 12 months away from ending.

      If you can’t see the closing date for a comp in the T & C or on the webpage then please estimate an end date. Without an end date on the thread title it will be moved into the Game Over sub forum prematurely, which would be a bit of a waste of your effort in posting it for us. If you had to estimate the end date then pop that into your post so that if, later on, the website add an end date another member can highlight the new information.

      E: 30/06 (?)

      The Thread Title then needs a short description of the prize that can be won, For Example, Holiday to Tenerife.

      If you are posting the answers to a mag with multiple comps & answers then put the mag name & issue in the thread title, eg, That’s Life Magazine Issue 10

      If the comp is entered by email or there is an age / location restriction then it is helpful to put that in the title in brackets, For Example, (U16)

      If a comp has a particular end time it is useful if it is posted in the thread title too, For Example, 5pm.

      So a few examples to sum it up:
      E: 28/12 Trip to New York (email)
      E: 15/09 Bee movie DVD (U16)
      E: 05/03 3pm Indiana Jones Goody Bag
      E: 07/01 £50 ToysRUs vouchers (email)(Oxford)
    2. In the main body of the post, you can type in the link to the page & whether it is a comp where you need to login / register. (I’ll go through neat link or clickies in just a moment). Do be aware when you are posting a comp that you should be using excerpts & links rather than copying long text.
    You can ‘Preview Post’ to see how it will look, if you want, before you click to ‘Submit New Thread’. Please remember that if a site URL appears as !!!!!! in the preview then it is a site which has been banned on MSE & shouldn't be posted.
