Need webcam.

I have just played this and it is not easy, also a tip would be put your laptop in front of you and don't have your neck twisted like me, Doh! :eek:

Win a nifty £50 every day for holding the longest grin without giving in. The longest grin of the month wins our super stunning star prize, a ludicrously luxurious New Years Eve party for 10.

Prizes
  1. There is a daily prize of £50 available and a single overall prize of a New Year’s Eve party for the winner and nine friends. The prize consists of return train travel from UK mainland stations to London, one nights’ accommodation in five double rooms at the five star Chancery Court Hotel including breakfast, ten tickets to Pacha nightclub on 31st December 2011, transfers to and from the nightclub, five deluxe hampers with an assortment of chocolate and sweets, £250 spending money in total.
I will pop a link in dailies. :)

Also worth noting: Only one prize per household is available. Entrants can only win the daily prize of £50 once throughout the competition.

    Judging & Prizes
    1. The aim is to smile for as long as possible. The application will monitor your smile and the timer will stop when you stop smiling. The software behind this application is dependant on you showing your teeth when you smile. Please note that the ability of the application to correctly identify your smile will depend on your webcam working properly and there are limitations to the accuracy of the software used in this application. In some situations the application may be unable to detect your grin.
    2. Each time you compete you will be given the option of entering your time into the Competition. In order to enter the Competition you must accept (i) these terms and conditions, (ii) the terms listed on the screen that appears when you install the application, and (iii) our privacy policy.
    3. Entry of your time will automatically enter you into two competitions: (i) the daily winner draw, and (ii) the overall competition.
    4. The daily winner will be the person who has records the longest ‘grin time’ during that day (the daily window runs from 12:00pm to 11:59am the following day ).
    5. The Promoter will attempt to contact each daily winner within 10 days via the email address listed on his/her Facebook page to arrange payment.

The overall winner will be announced on or after 24th December 2011 and will be contacted by the Promoter via the email address listed on his/her Facebook page. The overall winner will win a New Year's Eve party for him/herself and nine of his/her friends. The prize includes a New Year’s Eve party for themselves and nine friends. The prize consists of return train travel from UK mainland stations to London, one nights' accommodation in five double rooms at the five star Chancery Court Hotel including breakfast, ten tickets to Pacha nightclub on 31st December 2011, transfers to and from the nightclub, five deluxe hampers with an assortment of chocolate and sweets, £250 spending money for the group. No cash alternative shall be available.
    8. Before choosing any winner (whether daily or overall), the Promoter will carry out a review of the footage to check that the entrant has used a genuine smile throughout their entry and that the time recorded has not been as the result of any technological problem or any form of trickery (what amounts to “trickery” will be decided at the Promoter's sole discretion).
    9. There are no prize alternatives available and the Promoter reserves the right to withdraw winning status at any time and select an alternative winner, should it be deemed that the existing winner is unsuitable to represent the J20 brand in any way.
    10. All reasonable effort will be made to contact winning entrants, however if the Promoter is not able to contact a winner within 10 days after the end of the closing date timeframe, the prize may be withdrawn and another winner selected. Entrants that are not selected as winners by the Promoter will not be notified.
    11. Winners may be required to take part in reasonable promotional activity for J20 relating to the prize they have been awarded from the Promoter.
    12.

    14. For a list of the winners' names and counties please contact [EMAIL="alex.monger@bbh.co.uk"]alex.monger@bbh.co.uk[/EMAIL], 21 days after the winners are announced.
