Any ideas?

We have done

"Enter 1 million competitions in a year" (2015) :eek: :T

"Win 2016 competitions in a year" (2016) :j :T

The only thing I can think of that would be simple for all of us is

"Can you win £2017 worth of prizes in 2017"

Anyone up for that?

Or do you have a better idea? ;)

    An A - Z? Armchair, breadmaker, comb, DVD etc

    Or a rainbow A to Z to expand the opportunities; a red armchair, an orange anorak, a yellow aardvark etc

    That would be easy too as we would all just need one thread each as we could just keep updating it

    I think colours is a bit more difficult :eek:

    We could probably mix both those ideas together to make it double fun :rotfl::rotfl:

    Expanding on the same sort of idea......

    Win a prize (notification or delivery?) on every day of the month - not every month, but just 1st to 31st, so wins on 3rd/16th Jan and 20th/28th Feb would tick off 3/16/20/28 out of a total of 31.

    Although I'd probably be unsuccessful at both this and the A-Z one, as I've not won a minimum of 26 or 31 prizes in a year for either of the previous challenges haha

    Perhaps for those of us who don't win as much, we could do a win on every day of the week, so only a minimum of 7 prizes needed.....although given the rarity of a Sunday win, then perhaps not!

    .....or we try something by month, like guess number of prizes per month - ran the same way as this year, but you have a guess per month as opposed to one guess for the year, so 2 in Jan, 6 in Feb, 4 in March etc.

    .....or win type - twitter, FB, web form, email, instant, mag daily, click2win etc.

    Could always do a combination of different things, including the £2017 in 2017 one.

    Having been rubbish at 2016, I think I did get there but I'm not sure if I remembered to post, I think the 60 challenge is a bit complicated fr me.

    I might need it explained slowly possibly with diagrams.

    Would we have loads of threads? If so don't we lose the interaction and banter that is such a delight to all?

    What not have the first one to win a prize on a Monday gets to claim that number etc?
    Rational judgement, now, at this very moment.

    Virtuous action, now, at this very moment.
    (Wisdom, Courage, Self-control, Justice)

    Willing acceptance - now, at this very moment - of what you can’t change
  • You could add

    (55) Gleam [or just combine that with Raff)
    (56) Email [are there enough email comps that are run?]
    (57) mag daily
    (58) click2win

    Or do a lot of people not do all types?

    Or perhaps if some folk don't do some of the more time consuming entry methods very often, then it could be a one-off entry goal, like....... (59) do 1000 click2wins in a week [and you only have to do it once at some point during the year]

    I agree, maybe it should be "the first person to......" for each of the 60 challenges, so that we still have chat and banter? So first person to win on a Monday, first person to win a rafflecopter, first person to win something starting with the letter D, first person to win a prize worth £100 or more etc.

    Did you read what I wrote :p

    No you would copy and post my thread and just edit your one thread through out the year :D

    One thread for each person at the beginning and loads of newt banter later :D

    Tis easy really Mrs Bot ask the Newt to explain :rotfl:

    No that's no challenge for "professional compers" :eek:

    We need to see how many of the 60 challenges each of us can complete ;)
