If they want you to collect your prize in person it's more likely to be a scam

Not always true..
I had to collect a big prize i won quite a few months back in Manchester
and i live in Berkshire..
Was about 1k worth of stuff.. Defo worth the few hours drive...:D

I haven't got the links, but I'd also recommend extended copy then if you want to c+p an answer into an email and it's been posted in bold purple text, you can copy as plain text and it doesn't look copy pasted. Also IE tab as occasionaly there's a comp which wont work in FF - instead of opening up IE you can just click to switch rendering engine and it will open an IE tab in FF!

The more you enter the more you will win. I have entered over 1000 and i have won 3 things so far

Remember that sometimes the prizes can take ages to turn up and you aren't always notified as soon as they finish.

Best advice, enter as many as you want/can and enjoy doing.

Don't always assume you are going to win, then you aren't disapointed and when you do win, even if it's little, celebrate like mad.

Entering compeitions isn't a get rich quick scheme... it's a hobby!

Hi winner12345 most of us enter loads and loads of comps and wins come in fits and starts.

By the way, you should revisit your posts on the main comp board as you have some requests to change the format of your title to match the others on the forum. Also, you posted the same competition twice. Thanks.

And I think this should probably be in the comps discussion thread?
