Hi Ive been entering facebook comps for about 3 months now, after reading a bit im realising that the companies who run the comps dont automatically contact you if u win. Ive looked on the winners circle for the last month, its just made me feel a little dissapointed that u can win on a facebook com and never know u won. any thought on this :(

    It's annoying.

    Sometimes they say they'll announce details on their page and when, other times the terms and conditions say they'll e-mail the winners, while others make no mention of how they'll notify...

    I've started adding the pages to my interests folders, so I won't miss any posts that don't appear in my newsfeed.

    You can search for your name plus the words -win/winner/congratulations at this website.

    Often brings up results of prizes you may have missed.

    Good luck

    You can either hover your mouse over the name title on a newsfeed post, then when the box comes up go to the 'like' or 'liked' then on the drop down list click on the add to list, then down to the + new list and go from there.

    Once you have the list set up you can add other pages to it by using the drop down from the like/liked, but you just need to click on that interest for them to be added.

    You will still see their posts in your news feed but not all of them- for that you need to go to the left hand side of your newsfeed page where you will see Interests in grey, with a list of your interest titles (if you have more than one). Click on it and all the posts from any page in that interest list will be there.

    It is very easy to do after the first few times.

    Or go to their page, and follow the above instructions. :)
