Just a thought.... when entering comps, ie itv ones where the answer is (a - Leg) letter and answer, is it best to put both of them or just one of them or in lower case/capitals? I put both letter and answer in the answer box but wondered if it made a difference to the entry. thanks

I asked this before - I was told it doesn't matter as long as it doesn't state anywhere in the competition text

Either will do
28/01/13i emailed itv asking what they would prefer us to write in the answer box when there it a text box to write the answer in, and they replied that they want us to write both the letter and the answer,
ie, a. Up.
I was wondering if anyone had won one of those comps with only writing the letter or answer on their own.
What do you guys do?
05/02/13sorry to bump i emailed itv and asked for further clarity and for them to change the t&c so it states both the answer and letter are needed if that was the case. I was advised that just the letter is fine or the answer or both. No answers are disregarded unless they are incorrect i.e you write c when the answer is actually b.
Im happy to write the answer and letter if needed hell i would be happy to do a naked rain dance if it gave me more chance of winning but they have confirmed just the letter is sufficient.good luck everyone
11/02/13thanks for posting the comp, and sorry for bumping
i received an email from itv just in case anyone has a problem with just entering the letter.

all winning online entry answers are checked. If the answer is for example b) apple and the customer has entered only b or entered only apple these will be accepted as a correct answer.
anything out of the ordinary like spelling mistake or for example the text has a) apple written it will be checked with our interactive team.
