does it make any difference?

Options
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 :)

    i 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?

    sorry 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

    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.



    [FONT=arial, helvetica, sans-serif]please do not hesitate to contact us should you have any further questions[/FONT]
