How would you count though? If you did something like the Reverse A-Z, wouldn't that be 26 challenges already?

Just an idea, but what if you did something like a Reverse A-Z for challenges 1-26, win something for the charity A-Z for no 27, then had a list of say 10 "hard" challenges, and each person picked 3 to do so that everybody had 30 challenges in total, would that work?

Nooooo The A-Z would be 1 challenge :eek:

I will type something up later and you can tell me what's good and what's bad

It's been hard enough to win anything this year! At least with lots of challenges you've a good chance of shoe-horning your wins in somewhere...




And some of us don't have pets

Could I respectfully request we have less duplicated challenges next year *ducks for cover before people throw things*

How about a colours of the rainbow challenge, got to win 6 items- one red, orange, yellow, green, blue and purple :rotfl:

The challenges are just for fun

I think the only one we have ever completed is the enter 1 million competitions in one year and that was a huge group effort.

I don't think myself or anyone else expects to complete all of the challenges but we usually have a good laugh along the way trying.

I do like the rainbow idea

What about win something for each letter of your comping name?

M = Money
A = Something with an apple on it
N = notebook
S = something shiny
E = Eye Makeup
Y = Something Yellow

Lots of room for stretching wins there

mansey

Let me know....

1) A-Z Charity Donations (Group Challenge)

2) Reverse A-Z (Group Challenge)

I don't think these will take a long time to complete, so we need challenges that can be spread over the year

My idea behind the next lot is to give folks the incentive to try comps they wouldn't normally try/to do more comps so they have more chances of winning (none of us win a huge amount) so the more we enter the better??
You will have a year to complete them so it's not that hard to do :eek:
I am hoping to have 33 challenges and each person will get 3 PASSES (not including the 2 group challenges)

24) Enter 1000 FB comps

25) Enter 1000 TW comps

26) Enter 1000 Rafflecopter comps

27) enter 1000 Gleam comps

31) enter 1000 website comps

As I said let me know also give me ideas for the blanks

Y'know, I'd rather have the challenges mostly formatted as

Win xxx

As opposed to

Enter xxxx

Coz I'd be hopeless at keeping track of everything I enter and possibly be concerned at how much I do

Plus it seems so much more positive to see what one's won as opposed to time squandered...

Just my thoughts :cool:

A-Z challenge - how about the name of the website we've won the prize from so we can give a shout out to the websites that take the time to host the competition. For example A: AAA-NME, B: Blueprint Review, C: Cosmopolitan.

As an extra I like the idea of running small weekly fun challenges through out the year that encourage participating as opposed to winning. For example enter five competitions on websites that begin with the letter E.

My idea was to encourage people to enter more competitions as many like myself have lost their mojo and encouraging us to enter more competitions would surely mean more wins?

There are still plenty of blanks to fill with win xxx

Any ideas what you would like to see in those?

I do like the idea of an A-Z of companies we have won from but I would prefer that as a 3rd Group Challenge?

I also like the idea of a small weekly challenge (anything to keep folks interested/motivated) who would run that/type that up for us to see each week?

Would 12 people choose 4 small challenges and add them to a month?

Some great ideas

The more ideas folks add the better we can make next years challenge :T

we could incorporate group comping, i like the challenges being fun, i have felt less satisfied this year as i have failed on a lot of them!!!! i liked last years when you could choose which challenge you could add them to rather than having a specific item to win for a specific month, but that is just as i am finding it really hard

we could have highest value item each month, so it will keep changing depending on who has won what, mansey might win a fish slice £5 on 1st, then i might win a £20 aldi voucher on the 3rd so my win is placed on the challenge until marg wins a tv on the 28th.... put her on the challenge, be interesting to see who is getting the highest value items each month

equally could do least value items too, see who is winning the most rubbish prizes through the year

i like the a-z ones they are adaptable (ha ha ahem....to some of us)
or you could do win for first letter of the months... as in january win something beginning with J...jam or make it even harder and use each letter of the month J...jam. A...apple slicer N...nuts .etc..U...A.R.Y although i imagine letters such as j/u/y are quite hard

I agree with this - I've found this years challenge harder than previous years, think its the idea of winning specific things in specific months, makes it seem to hard. Although, this may just be because I've lost my comping mojo a bit this year due to personal issues.

I much prefer the challenges that we have all year to complete!

Been thinking of what could be added, what about -

Win something every day of the week

Win your birth year worth of prizes

Win a type of comp you've never won before....e.g I've had loads of gleam wins but I've never won a mag daily or a C2W

Win a personalised prize

Win something for each of the 5 senses
