    I haven't entered either yet as I want to know which one is correct :)

    hi walwin, they've all got the apostrophe on the puzzle pages,
    i've put the apostrophe in all of them, but it doesn't realy matter according to the person i asked this morning, she said they accept any, you can enter it as SANTA'S SLEIGH or SANTAS SLEIGH,

    these aren't like the puzzler.com comps, they're the ones that will show you if you've entered before, Take a Break monthies are all separate comps & each form should be filled in per comp :)

    please see One-eye's post also

    hi, the form WON'T be already filled in for you,
    they are separate magazines,
    these are Take a Break puzzles monthly & each magazine needs to have the answer filled in,

    If you've already entered, the form is already filled in - or it is with me. I meant if they're separate comps, you fill in both of them, not that one automatically fills in the other. And not to worry that you're duplicating, because if you've already entered, it's already filled in.

    oh, i understand what you mean now :)
    way i was reading it read like it would already tell you you've entered, it doesn't,
    ONLY if you've only just entered then check back, once you've logged out & then you log back in again, the form will be empty
    again,

    in One-eye's explanation ...

    T-A-B do not show that you have previously entered (after you have exited your current session) and there is nothing that stops you from entering again. The terms state "we will accept only one entry per registered user. If more than one entry for the same issue is received, we will accept the first entry only". This means you will not be disqualified if you accidently enter a second time, and if you are unsure whether or not you have entered, or whether your entry has been accepted, it is OK to enter the comp to be certain.

    Ooh, it's such a MINEFIELD! :eek:

    I obviously forget to log out every time because if ever I go back, days or weeks later (supposing the comp's still open, of course), it's always still filled in. :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: At least they don't disqualify you, so that's good news.

    I really appreciate all the work that everyone puts into these comps. It takes me forever just to enter them and I have to be anal about keeping track and only entering ones I want to, etc. But it must take you guys an eternity. THANK YOU. :T

    Sorry to bump, but are these the same answer? And if so which is correct, with or without the apostrophe?

    As has been noted, either answer will suffice. Apologies for any confusion I caused - I simply posted and ran and didn't see the post before mine with the same answer or I'd have put the apostrophe in to match.

    Good luck all :beer:
