ITV Answer Format

I've noticed that some members are still asking about the correct way to type an answer for the online ITV entry forms.

I received the following reply from ITV after enquiring about the answer format a couple of months ago when they changed the entry forms;

"Thank you for contacting ITV.

I can confirm that now, when entering a competition, you can either enter your answer as A, B or C. Also you can enter your answer as A and then your answer, B and then your answer, C and then your answer.

It does not matter whether you include the punctuation or not when you submit your answer to one of our competitions."

    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]
