Effort Competitions

Jrterror

Hi everyone. I'm just considering getting into comping again and found myself back here on the Money-saving Expert Forum. A small number of years ago, if I remember correctly, you could use the search box to easily find competitions that required 'Effort. Now it would appear that advanced search has disappeared. 
Does anyone have a successful method of locating the 'Effort' competitions here in Competition  Time?
Additionally, have those in charge of the forum site considered creating a sub category for 'Effort' only competitions?
Many thanks. D

I don't think there are many these days, but bookmark this and keep checking (I think that should work)

2 of the other main sites list them by type (over 40 on each, opinions on effort vary) one has  "competitions requiring a little bit of effort" and the other "competitions where you'll need to get a little creative"

Any "effort" entries might then go into a random draw so the "effort" is only about making the entry and not the quality of it (it's much easier for a promoter to comply with the regulations with a random draw).

If you want photo effort the Sony POTY allows up to 3 free entries per person
