Yesterday the world of comping suffered a huge blow when Loquax announced that they will no longer be listing competitions. It was a sad day for compers who had used the site regularly for years, and being a comper myself I know how attached you get to your comping routine. It was a big shock, but hopefully here at The PrizeFinder we can welcome Loquats who want a Competition Tracker and easy-to-navigate listings. We also wish Jason, Kirsty and the Loquax team all the best for the future.
Steve Higson has been running www.theprizefinder.com since 2001, and I joined in August 2011. We are both passionate about competitions and work hard at finding all the best promotions to share here. We are particularly proud of our skill-based section, which offers some great low-entry competitions. If you want to read stories from some of our regular users, check out our Winners page - we give a £50 voucher every month to a member who has sent us a photo and story!
Our blog features competition advice and news, and we post a monthly 'wins' update on the blog for members to share their prize news.
Over the past few months we have made lots of improvements to the site to help our users enter comps more efficiently.
• New 'Advice' line with the competition answer
• New 'TV Comps' section
• New Personal Competition Tracker
By popular demand, we also have a post pinned at the top of our Facebook page listing current daily competitions and instant wins - you can see it at www.facebook.com/theprizefinder.
If you want to help us out by adding new competitions you can do so by clicking the green 'Add a Competition' button.
Like Loquax, ThePrizeFinder is free to join because we have advertising and list affiliate competitions. If you've been comping for a while, you may recognise the names of these particular sites - they are usually prize draws combined with surveys or 'tick boxes'. Your email address will be used to send you further information - if you don't want this, you will learn to easily spot these types of competitions and can choose to ignore them. Don't let these listings put you off - we pride ourselves on the quantity and quality of our competitions and we have many successful winners!
We hope you choose to join us and welcome your feedback on the site. All new members will also automatically be entered into our 2013 prize draw to win £6000 of gadgets too - good luck!
