Meet Our Latest Winners!

I have been comping for the past 3 months and haven't won a dicky bird.....until today that is.

I received a voucher through the post for £250 worth of varnish!!! Now I don't have a lot of wood in my house but still gonna spend the lot!!!

This win has given me a much needed boost to keep applying for as many competitions as I can.....so my advice to anyone thinking of giving up.....don't!! You never know what is around the corner.

I started entering competitions a few weeks back after watching the TLC show Extreme Sweepstakes. I threw myself into it, entering the "closing soon" competitions every day. I didn't think I'd have any chance of winning but two weeks later I got an email telling me that I'd won two tickets to the Foodie Festival in Bristol!! As an amateur cook I was over the moon.

We headed over there on a wonderfully sunny Saturday afternoon and filled up on samples from lots of cool stalls that ranged from ginger grouse whiskey to the spiciest charrizo I've ever tasted.

Best of all was the demonstrations which included a baking class from Manisha Parmar and Ryan Chong from my favorite show The Great British Bake Off!!

It's given me the push to enter more competitions, maybe I should be looking for Slim Fast competitions after all the scrummy food I ate this weekend.

I have won a number of smaller prizes - tickets to shows, a night in a london hotel but this was by far the best thing ever. We won flights to the USA through Opodo on Facebook. We had a choice of locations and picked Chicago. We have just come back and turned it into a bit of adventure hiring an RV so we saw some more of the states while we were there. Had a fantastic time and have just got over the jet lag !

Last month started a little slow - I won a few books, stickers, DVDs and ail wraps. Nice little wins but I really wanted something BIG! In the 3rd week of June I logged onto Facebook and a few friends of mine tagged me saying well done. When I looked I won 2 tickets to the screening of 'Man of steel' with free popcorn at any Vue cinema. I was very pleased with this and thought it was the best I was going to win this month. A few days later on a Sunday I received an email with the heading FACEBOOK WINNER - I got the usual excitement of opening it and seeing what I won but couldn't believe what it said...I won a hob and top of the range stainless steel pans worth around £700! I couldn't believe my luck, the actual bloke from the Simi kitchen company came to my house and delivered them in person - he was really nice and made me feel very lucky so I'm hoping July will be another great month!

My sister had told me she wanted to go to the Wychwood Festival this year, and as I'm the 'lucky one' out of my family, i entered a 1-day-only competition and crossed my fingers. The next morning, i got a notification to say i had won 2 tickets for the weekend festival, worth £120!

I've never been to a festival or camped before so i was really excited that i had won.

As we set up camp (at Cheltnam Racecourse may i add!) i had told my sister to keep an eye on the official Facebook page of the Festival in case there were any spot prizes. Low and behold, 15 minutes later and i had spotted a status saying the first to a food trailer to say 'Best Friend' could win a lunch for 2. I raced down to the trailers, said the magic words and was greeted with 'Winner' banners.

We had a brilliant weekend, got sunburnt, danced at our first silent disco, watched Human League front row and watched Craig Charles DJing!

Now i have the festival bug and would love to win more tickets.

Many years ago before e-mail entries (yes I am that old!) I entered competitions using the post. Not only was it expensive but I never won anything. A few weeks ago I found the prizefinder.com and had a go entering some of the competitions on their website. Entry was free and if I logged on I got the answers to the questions as well. I then spent a week on holiday in Exmouth and received a telephone call to tell me that I had won a voucher for £100 for Waterstones - WOW, I have never won that much before. When I got home there was a letter waiting for me inside were two tickets to get in as an exhibitor to the Hampton Court Flower show this week. I was unable to go so rang Anglian Windows whose competition it was and they agreed for my son to go - he is a gardener by trade and he has had a fantastic time.

Thanks Prizefinder I will use you often to enter the best competitions around.

I've recently won a year's supply of baking goods from Baking Mad. This is my major win for July!!! Has anyone else won baking goodies as there were 10 up for grabs? I've shared my win with friends and we're now all baking this weekend in this heat!
Happy comping everybody and thanks ThePrizefinder as the entry was via your listings.
Keep it up!!

I started Photography last year as a way to keep motivated while off work. I recently started entering competitions using the skills I have learned. I think it's great that ThePrizeFinder lists competitions by type. So far I have won:
A £15 voucher
A picnic basket
A family ticket to Beaulieu motor museum
A 12"x8"mounted print
And last night I found out I won a huge 30" x 20" block mounted print of my photo of Winchester cathedral's crypt!
I am going to enter many more and my biggest hope is for a holiday for my family.

After years of not winning I have at last had an email to tell me I have won some Dr Dre Headphones.
I was not giving up without a fight and now let's hope this is the beginning of more wins and the famine has ended.
I am so thrilled or rather my grandson is haha.

I've had a great run of wins recently, large and small.
I'm always reading about couriers delivering boxes and now its my turn! A BBC Food online competition brought me the full range of Lloyd Grossman Cooking sauces - everything from Thai Green Curry to Chilli & Bolognaise Sauces & boxes of beautiful Le Cruset Cookware - saucepans, casseroles and dishes in original volcanic orange. Next Laura Ashley sent me a summer dress c/o a postcard to PRIMA Magazine. Then a set of boxes contained Fisher Price range from Mattel UK as I had won the " Laugh 'N' Learn Prize Bundle from Practical Parenting & Pregnancy Magazine.
Delia Smith was to be presented with a special BAFTA and I won tickets for two to join the event in London and enjoy the Tattinger Champagne reception courtesy of the Radio Times. Her BAFTA was presented by Victoria Wood and my friend and I greatly enjoyed this special evening. Thank you Prizefinder. x
