Competitions Discussion Thread Part 2

Thrupneybit

Though I know people do win from pre-printed stickers & labels my personal prefarence is to hand write any entries. Occasionally "write your details on a postcard" is even asked for in the small print. Being too professional might work against you.

Thanks Thrupneybit.
I see from your winnings that you are the voice of experience. I've been entering about 20 comps a day for about 6 weeks or so and no wins yet. I'll let you know if the postcards come up trumps as I'm doing about 40 a month of those as well.
Off work long term sick, so trying to keep myself sane and have a smile on my face.

I have some pre-printed postcards with my address on them. I swap between using those and normal postcards. For the pre-printed ones I normally try to use wierd coloured pens to write the to address as i reckon that won't look too professional. I've had a couple of wins from them so far from the local paper so they obviously don't mind. I've not had any other postcard wins yet though so I can't say whether they cause me any problems elsewhere.

I've added the winners list to the end of the original thread Here

Hey everyone, back from my jollies to find a shiney new thread! Now I undoubtedly have about 50 pages to catch up on, which i thought of starting last night, then tonight, but now I think I will put it until I can get DS2's hospital appointment out of the way tomorrow.

I did however come home to 2 cards from parceline and now I am worried as I will be out most of the day tomorrow and it states that the parcel will be returned to the sender if they can't delivery within 3 days of the first attempted delivery (last thursday). I am not even sure if it is for a prize, as I am expecting a parcel from the states and am also expecting the second half of a prize I won last month, or it could be a Julien Macdonald dress . Fingers crossed it is something exciting!

Still works kit, I've just done a comp with a click here and all they have done is taken the brackets bit away, it should highlight up in the blue hyperlink colour like when you see the final post
