Competitions Discussion Thread Part 2

Is there a way to search for competitions by end date? I have tried putting in eg E 5/10, but nothing ever seems to come up. It is mainly due to wanting to know if I have won something quickly,so entering the comps that are nearly closing would be the way to go. (yes I know I am impatient!!).
Any ideas?
thanks

In short the answer is no, I only know cause this was asked before and sparked a debate about changing the format.

okay no worries. It would be handy though. It seems a bit weird that you can search for other things in the title but not the date?

I think it's due to the / & ; & : & . s.

just wondered about the comps where you have to be under 16 or a child, how young can the entrant be - ie. could I enter for my nephew who is 5 months old?!

Yes I was trying to do this too!

For the same reason as you - impatient so and so's!


I have been comping constantly over the last few weeks and have not yet won anything other than the text in Nivea comp so I also thought I would try ones that were ending soon as I am starting to lose interest having had no success lol.

So it is a shame there is no way to search for that specifically.

I know what you mean, but have you just tried going back to about pages 50, 60 70 + etc. Obviously the older the comps. The sooner the end dates. If you see what i mean?

dawnylou

Yes I worked backwards from the very last page! lol

I Used to enter about 20 a day then got fed up with not winning. Since joining this site i enter about 30 - 50 and have just won a cafeteir and a football book, trying to work back down the list and enter them all as well as claim all the freebies on offer

Funnily enough, my daughter is always playing catch up, and won a couple of things the day after she just managed to enter.
