    This competition has become a little unfair now.
    As stated above, you had 250 WORDS/CHARACTERS to describe why you wanted to win. Links to other resources should not be allowed.
  • Yes I agree - I bet there are loads of others out there who agree too. They should stick the rules they state. But well done anyways that winner.
  • Ive tried to be really clever this hour, probably too clever :(
    October Wins
    The Siren Sisters Christmas CD
    Artistic work of Bugs Bunny signed
    Wizard of Oz tickets + 4* overnight stay in hotel with £100 spending money

    Me too,

    I don't think they will "get" my entry.
    I have linked to another site as I think it's the only way.

    I've tried rhymes, ascii art, backwards text, my first is in... all before any of the winners but no luck.

    Really chuffed for the Moneysavers though - loads of winners which is great!

    TBH in my view they have just got no rules for it, seems anything goes and has become very unfair esp to thous that can't do utube kind of things. If that's what they had stated they wanted from the start I wouldn't of bothered with the comp at all. I can't do things like that it took me over an hour to do what i needed to do in paint and even then it's not perfect LOL

    Oh well it's nearly over and then we can all move onto the next comp to drive us all mad

    Out of curiosity, have any of the MSE winners won through sending their entry through e-mail or have they all been through facebook?

    Not sure about any MSE'rs but I'm assuming the last winner entered via email because the iphone4 is OOS and has been since at least yesterday.

    I know this because I have always attempted to enter for that first every hour but haven't been able to because if flags up on the fb entry that it's OOS

    edit - Course it's just made a liar out of me and, even though it's OOS, it has just let me enter for it! Very strange!
    08 wins £3000+ :j09 wins £4408:j2010 (6 months off) £2004:j2011 £10,003 :j 2012 - £6013 :j2013 wins £8500 :j 2014 £5530 so far....

    Slightly off topic - but can we change our forum names?
    Mine isn't really the most meaningful!

    Me too I've tried ASCII art, binary, rhymes, riddles, pleading, begging, humour, and any combination of the above, and still nothing. Some of my entries were actually pretty good too! (Some were terrible, I'll admit!)

    People have won the same/similar prize as I've gone for, in the same hour, with what I would say was an inferior entry (no big head at all :P)... leads me to think that the selection is probably more random than we'd like to believe - how many entries must they be getting an hour now? Thousands? The 12pm winner was up before 2pm, so I'm inclined to believe that a lot of entries aren't even getting a look in.

    And I've no hope of competing with images or videos because I have no camera/video camera or computer capable of handling any of it. Which is why I've been trying to win a computer/camera/video camera!! lol

    Still, it's been a good crack having a go at it, just a pity I've not a hope!
