The Three Kings have lost their crowns!

Search www.jewelleryquarter.net for three gold crowns, then answer the tie-breaker question: What is the birthstone for December?

Download their entry form: Entry Form and Terms & Conditions in pdf or Entry Form and Terms & Conditions in Word.

Please thank Liz below for picking up on this. :T :T :T

    Sorry to bump, but do we need to email the entry form back?

    The site says:
    "Click here for a copy of our Entry Form and Terms & Conditions in pdf
    Click here for a copy of our Entry Form and Terms & Conditions in Word (unfortunately we are unable to accept entries in the new docx format. Please ensure emailed entries are either in pdf or .doc format)"

    which suggests they're expecting our emails to contain an entry form?

    Also suggests that they expect you to have some software to edit PDF to use that option...and they feel the need to risk attached word docs what can easily infect them...people are idiots, a simple form would have been best.

  • This competiton is not as straight forward as naming the birthstone - see below
    Search www.jewelleryquarter.net for three gold crowns, then answer the tie-breaker question: What is the birthstone for December?

    Answers: 1) Christmas Shopping in jewellery Quarter
    2) Suggested Itineries.
    3) Eating and drinking
    December stone: Turquoise.

    However please check for yourselves, if unsure.
    Hope this helps
    I received and e mail saying people weren't answering the whole competition

    Surely a pdf version is for those who want to print off their form and post it back. Not everyone can open word docs either, even if they do cause viruses. What other format could the form be sent in? Luckily I can open both! Oooh, someone told me tanzanite was the birthstone- but I've never heard of it!

    The form could be a web form...the most common and obvious way to sent this type of info on the web. Everyone else does it that way.

    As for the .doc...people will send them back infected ...almost certainly. Then she's screwed. A risk that they never needed to take at all.

    One good thing though, a lot of folk won't bother to do this....so more chance for us to win :)

    IF anyne here can't open Word docs...gogle Openoffice.org....it's a free office software that will do whatever Microsoft Office does.
