Facebook 'LIKE' competitons

Hey guys... I enter a lot of comps on Facebook that require you to 'Like' the brand/page first. A lot of the times, after entering, I then 'unlike' the page... does anyone know if this will void my entry?
...and the Spurs go marching on.

    I'm just guessing, but my instinct says that it might. Some comps may choose a random winner from all their 'likers'. Others may decide a different way, but if it's conditional on liking, they'll may well check this before contacting the winner.

    If you want to unlike them, have you considered recording when the comps end, so you know it's safe to unlike them?

    I tend to hide them from my FB timeline or feed. That way, I don't get all the countless updates cluttering my page and nobody can see what I have been liking.

    Some state you must remain a "liker" to go into the draw

    I would wait until the comp ends before unliking if I was you - my thoughts are that they would check the entries against their liker list before awarding (though some may take it on trust)
