Win £5000 family home technology center - I saw this in a Build a Bear Workshop window.

There are lots of rules as you can see but in summary the competition can be entered by downloading a form here, completing it (by hand as no mechanically produced forms accepted!) and either sending by post (see below - be careful there are different addresses for UK and Ireland) or by dropping it in to your nearest build a bear workshop store. The competition can be entered daily but each entry must be mailed separately. Competition details can be seen here

Although entries are accepted from USA, Puerto Rica, Canada, UK and Ireland. There are two separate draws (therefore two grand prizes), one for UK and Ireland and a separate draw for USA, Puerto Rica and Canada. Draw is made on the 18th April. Postal entries must be post marked by March 10th and received by March 25th.

Addresses:
if you are a resident of Ireland, mail to: Build-A-Bear Workshop The Ultimate buildabearville.com Sweepstakes, PO Box 3121 , Dublin 2 Ireland; if you are a resident of the United Kingdom, mail to: Build-A-Bear Workshop The Ultimate buildabearville.com Sweepstakes, PO Box 101,Leigh, Lancs, WN7 1WQ, UK.

Hope that this is worth it! :rolleyes:
