    Hmm...if this is for the first 10,000 applicants, funny that the word 'competition' appears in the link.

    Its a comp because if you are the 10,001 entry then you wont receive it ;)

    Any comps that have more than 1000 prizes on a 1st come, 1st served basis can go on the freebies board.

    Just to clarify for you.

    It could also be called a comp because you have to answer one incredibly difficult question ;) (where the answer is given in the previous paragraph) :rotfl:

    Thanks for posting OP

    What's the betting that the site goes on accepting applications right up to the closing date, with no indication of when all 10,000 samples have been allocated...and if this is indeed classed as a competition, the 'winners' aren't the first 10,000 people to enter, according to the T&Cs.

    I agree, I used my throw away email when I first registered with them.
