Hi everyone good luck with the compototions I'm new still learning
Organised Comping - Advent/Dailies
Hey! Tomorrow is the day when most advents start. It may be a little daunting for some and not all of us have the same amount of time as each other, so it is best to stay organised.

Parcel detectives assemble
Hello all! Had a text from Royal Mail this morning saying they've received my FKWT parcel. It's not a scam as legit royal mail updates have come via that number too.

Prize Winner Rules
Hi all. Just wondering if anyone knows the typical ITV prize competition rules regarding alerting winners that they’ve won? Is it possible that they may call the winner but be unable a number of times by phone to be connected. Could or would they then try to reach the next nearest winner and offer them the prize instead?…
Help please!
Does anyone remember posting a Currys Comp, something to do with Skills Lab where you had to guess what happened next? I've had a WEM saying I've won but not sure if it's genuine. Are we allowed to post content of emails we've been sent? Anyway if anyone could help find the comp that would be so helpful. I've tried…
What happened to this competition?
A few days ago I posted all the answers to a competition, but I can't find it anymore. Could it have been deleted? Does anyone want the answers back? Should I repost it? https://barnwell.co.uk/competition/ “Find the Santa – WIN a Hamper”
Prize sponsor gone into liquidation
I won a prize in a magazine draw in September, sadly the prize sponsor has gone into liquidation this month, and I never received my prize. I can see in DMRIs rules of play that it says "In the unfortunate event the prize sponsor goes into liquidation, no alternative prize will be provided". Does this mean that I have no…

Calling walkers! Help me guess this place in a win a whisky mini-bar competition
I think this is somewhere in the Lake District. I am pretty sure I recognise those flattish rocks! And there can not be that many places to park by a stream. The hills are pretty distinctive too! They have it running on Tik Tok and Instagram. https://vm.tiktok.com/ZMF5pSCwb/…
Keeping your anonymity
Hello, I occasionally enter competitions but always like to hide my identity for fear of unwanted publicity. Would using a pseudonym cause me a problem should I win big, for example, proving who I actually am as opposed to the name I used for the competition? All advice from experienced compers welcome. Thank you.
