Lucky New Year: Jan 1st

Submitted by SuperluckyDi on Tue, 2013-01-01 07:22

Every day for the first week of 2013 we're giving away a £10 Amazon voucher - and every time you enter one of our daily comps, you'll also get an entry into our grand prize draw to win a fabulous KINDLE FIRE HD!

Today is our first competition and as it's the first day of a brand new year, we'd like to know what your comping resolution is. Here are some ideas:

• Registering for Pinterest or Instagram
• Trying some creative competitions
• Setting up Google Alerts to find competitions for your dream prizes
• Visiting the 'new competitions' section daily on the PrizeFinder - instead of the 'closing soon' one!
• Making home-made postcards for postal entry competitions
• Starting a spreadsheet to record your wins
• Subscribing to a new magazine (how about Compers News?!)
• Listening to the radio and texting/calling in for on-air comps
• Applying for TV gameshows
• Entering more text competitions

To enter today's competition, make sure you're registered with The PrizeFinder and logged in to your account - then leave a comment on this post telling us your comping resolution. We have an approval process so your comment won't appear straight away, but as long as you post it before midnight you'll be in the draw!

Don't forget, every entry you make into our daily competitions gives you one entry into the grand prize draw for a Kindle Fire HD!

1. Open to UK residents aged 18 or over
2. Entrants must be registered PrizeFinder users and comment on this blog post with their comping related resolution
3. There is one prize of a £10 Amazon voucher

TERMS AND CONDITIONS - Kindle Fire HD prize draw

To be more selective in my comping. To prioritise according to need (I share many winnings with those I care for in the community). To politely Ignore requests at public voting or any popularity contests as they are quite simply unfair if public voting is the only criteria.

I'm going to try and find more local competitions, these are often lower entry, so a good chance of winning.

to enter postal comps instead of doing all the comps online & to start doing the skill based comps

I am hoping to enter more competitions. I tend to be rather selective about the competitions I enter now. As I have been entering competitions for nearly 30 years, which surprised me how time flies when you are having fun, I have never won a major prize but still live in hope, thus comping is nearly a full time hobby and takes up most of my spare time. Postal comps are now just too expensive to enter, so online is the best for me.

To enter more competitions that require skill rather than just sending an email address,eg a slogan in the hope that they will be lower entry & therefore more chance of winning a prize. I hate the sweepstake comps as a lot of them require 'twitter' entries & I don't do twitter :)

To only enter those with prizes I actually want to win. I ended up with lots of unused things in my drawers last year.

Enter as many competitions as I can, win more so I can share more. I also need to sort out a passport so I can enter some lovely holiday comps.

I am going to enter more competitions this year and am going to try some postal comps. I used to do well on them a few years ago but there aren't so many to do these days as most comps seem to be online. I might set up a twitter account too as there are lots on there. I'm only going to enter for prizes I really want this year and not for everything I come across!

My comping resolution is to enter competitions for baby stuff and holidays since I would like to utilise my limited time more efficiently for playing competitions which have prizes that I specifically want.

This year I am going to take lots more photos and enter photography competitions - whilst trying to win a DSLR! Also, I'm going to get back on track with my blog and start entering some blog post comps.

I really enjoy entering all competitions and will continue to select those that I can find a use for the prize for myself or my family and friends.

To try and win things that I REALLY want, especially holidays/breaks. My hubby retired yesterday so we will have more free time. Also I'm going to attempt to beat each month for wins last year as well as my overall yearly number of wins
