any women won anything from Shortlist?

Hi all,

Just curious about the stylist/shortlist comps as they are 'sister' publications, one aimed at women and one aimed at men.

I wonder if any women have won anything from Shortlist, and if any men have won anything from Stylist? Both websites ask for gender of entrant - not unusual in itself, but I wondered if they would actually give a prize from a men's magazine to a woman and vice versa.

there's probably no way of knowing - but I don't want to religiously enter shortlist comps if I will never have a chance in the first place!

I've wondered this too.
Entered loads of shortlist and never won, but recently i've noticed that it refuses to change my sex from female to male, no matter what i do

Is anyone else having this problem?

edit: never won anything from all the Stylist comps i enter either

I too had problems changinf gender, but kept pressing Female, and it eventually changed, albeit very slowly!

I've found if you double click on the gender you want it should change straight away.

I've never won win stylist or shortlist, but I think they get loads of entries - I think they're some of the most thanked posts on here.

Not won anything but thanks for the hints on changing gender.

ive entered comps with both stylist and shortlist for best part of two years now and never had a sniff of a win from either! they do give away a lot of very very good prizes though so i guess their entry counts will be scary!

I didnt even know one was for men and the other was for women. I could tell that they were related to each other, but had no idea about the gender thing.

I find to change my gender to female I have to click quickly and it does it. Took me a while to get the knack of that, but it works every time now.
