I'm always quite surprised by how many people avoid photo/effort comps. I often find they don't take much effort just a bit of imagination. The skill off bad skills comp I entered a picture I'd taken just before xmas and won £100 so very little effort and at halloween I spent 5 minutes sewing some bandages to one of my sons sleepsuits so he looked like a mummy and he won 2 lots of vouchers totalling £125.
The only time I avoid photo/effort comps is if they are accompanied by the word vote.You never know how strong you are until being strong is the only choice you have.
