Hi guys, ive seen a few people mention on here about searching for their names on google to see if they have missed any wins. how does this work then what search terms do you use. i have the same name as someone famous so i put that in and just get this person straight away lol

I did this a few weeks ago and found a win from Dec!
Just search your first and second name with winner, competition winner or congratulations!
Ie: Joe Bloggs winner or Congratulatons Joe Bloggs etcc
If you have a name which is popular you may struggle. Some compers make up a last name just for comping and then it will
be easier to search.
Good luckHoping for some lucky dust!0 -
try putting quotes around "yourname" and add the word winner or competition or won or congratulations or your home town/county....also search only in the UK, as that will narrow things down.0
