Hey all, new to this online competition malarky. Have entered loads and loads [!] of comps over the past two years with envelope and postcard entries.. and sad to say, didn't have much luck at all.. 
I note, with pleasure! of the wins that you've all had [from your signatures] do you mostly win from online comps? Do you mix online and 'hard copy' comps?
You all probably do this anyway, but a good tip is to set up a new email account that can just use for entering competitions - that way the sites you add your email address to don't have a note of your 'personal address' [as some of them might use/sell etc.. your email address] and it also makes it easy to scan my 'prizes' only email account if, I mean, WHEN I win!
Good luck everyone, so glad I tripped upon this site. x
