I'm back!

I didn't win anything for a long time so I decided to try another Comping Site.


I tried Competition Database and although I liked the log which showed how many competitions you entered and their value, I have won nothing and it seemed to take longer to enter each competition than it does on here. So I am back to try again!


Anyone had any luck with other sites?

    Lots of othe sites out there but I feel that MSE beats them for user interaction, spam spotting, and sheer quantity of comps. Plus we generally get the comps posted first :-)

    You also get lots of local comps on here that other sites seem not to have.

    Yes certainly seems to be more user friendly!

    im back too after a break from comping. i just wish the twitter, facebook and RC were all in a separate section as I tend to steer away from these or if some of the threads were put in catagories like magazine entries, holiday competitions, dvds etc and it would make things easier
    Just about to give up!

    Some other sites sort that way and/or by prize etc.
    MSE is more "here they all are" so no need to sort through lots of sections to see everything or have competitions posted several times where they have multiple entry routes and/or multiple prizes which fit more than one category.

    Although it is nice to have them in sections like holidays, money etc., I have certainly entered more since being back here. The pop ups which slow things down don't get in the way!


    Good luck everyone!
