    Hi Elledee...

    I know this question was aimed at the Carriecakes but I can try and help on this one..

    Facebook comps vary from each competition. They are normally broken down into these categories, but for simplicity sake all of them will require you to 'like' the page first:

    1. 'Like' and wait for page to reach a certain number of likes e.g 1,000 likes before they choose a winner at random.
    2. Like and share a particular post on their wall - you might need to leave a comment also.
    3. Enter via the 'competition' or 'sweepstakes' or other aptly named heading (located on top left hand side of their page under their image, where you would find photos & info) - Then you follow instructions, you might have to answer question, sumbit info, watch a video or play a game even.
    4. Tag yourself in a competition image - which requires tagging your name on the particular image they refer to in the competition.. Normally there is a competition folder and will be several of the same images, as there is a limit to tags per picture available (approx 45 tags per pic allowed).
    5. Sometimes you have to answer a question on their wall or in the comments box of a particular post..

    You get the idea..

    Can vary quite a bit! Some competitions require you to install apps also with various permissions, some require minimal info and some require massive amounts - i tend to stay clear of those requiring very private info or access.. but that's just me..

    Hope that helps.. good luck! :D
    I smile because I have absolutely no idea what's going on
