To be successful you need to be persistant. I used to enter all kinds of competitions regularly (then gave up for about three years because of circumstances in my life). I won around £2,500 worth of prizes per year. You do go through 'dry' spells so don't give up. Try for the little prizes as well. Do postcard competitions and especially do local paper competitions as the odds of winning are higher (less entries).0

Lets see:
3 nights at the Hilton Amsterdam with flights,
3 nights at hotel in Cardiff with coach travel,
Nintendo DS and Nintendogs,
£400 gift vouchers,
Cars CD player,
various dvds and cds,
front row tickets to see The Cure :j
book signed by an England football player,
bag with beauty products in,
hair straigheners,
recipe book,
national geographic calendar,
And loads of other prizes which I can't remember now. I've been comping for about a year now. You only win about 1 in 400 according to my calculations so keep at it and you will get one in the end.2008 Comping ChallengeWon so far - £3010 Needed - £230Debt free since Oct 20040 -
