    Like other people have said, 10 - 20 comps a day is nothing, I enter way more than that...
    London Fashion Week tickets, Clinique Facial treatment set (I see it as a win :P) Mario Power Tennis Wii game, Aura by Swaroski perfume, Theatre Tickets to 'A woman alone' :T, £1000 with Kerrang's Scream4Cash, Links of London Wedding Themed Bracelet, Chipmunk O2 launch party tickets, Adidas All In gig tickets, Water For Elephants Double Bill tix

    I'll be honest & say that 10-20 per day is a small amount in relation to lots one here.
    Last year I entered about 20,000 comps excluding ITV,TAB multiples.
    I won a few things but nothing staggering.The year before I did better with my top win being a holiday to Vancouver.

    I agree, I enter at least 50-60 every day if not more, good luck!~
  • I enter at least 50 comps a day and have only won 1 prize in the last 18 months. It needs to be a hobby -something you do in your spare time or instead of watching an hour or two of TV in evenings. The way i look at it is -if you're not in you can't win . I think spending all day at competitions would be soul destroying because it really needs to be a bit of fun,not hard work.

    Is it typical for competition hosts to somewhat disguise a WEM? Or if you get a WEM do the hosts tend to make it very clear?
