Like many organized compers, I have a well maintained list (on my mobile) of daily, weekly, monthly competitions for FB, Twitter and favourite websites. I do keep it updated all the time and usually start the day with 'getting them out of my way'. That's how I spotted a great competition on Land's End FB page; they run a give away every week, but on this occasion it was 3 big £500 vouchers and all you needed to do is to create a denim inspired mood board. I knew there are going to be many entries, but badly wanted to win, so I spent ages hunting down images on Pinterest, saving it to my PC, then made a board on a mobile app, and sent it with excitement. The judging took a few weeks, but I was so glad when I received a WEM from them, saying that I was chosen as one of the winners! This great news came in the right time and will be spent on a new AW wardrobe and Christmas presents for my family.
