    Have the T&Cs changed? I swear it used to be that if you had won a prize worth over £500 from Bauer Radio then you were ineligible to win Make me a Winner for six months, but now it's Bauer Media, so will include Take a Break comps etc... (not that I've won)

    Sorry if I've missed that chat (I do try to keep up) or have that wrong...

    Bauer media as a group has been in their main competition T&Cs for a long while, this includes MMAW even if not mentioned specifically in the MMAW T&Cs  (Full T&Cs apply. Please see . .then links as it has always done to the main terms)

    it's £500 or more (doesn't have to be over £500)

    As mjm says above, it's been Bauer Media for as long as I can remember. I won a comp with Rock FM back in about 2015 and was told that the 6-month ban applied to all Bauer companies including the magazines! So it's definitely not a new thing.
