We all enter competitions for the chance to win lovely things, but it's those amazing 'money can't buy' prizes that make our hobby extra-special. Just last week I watched my husband play football at the San Siro in Milan - with Arsenal legends Robert Pires and Tony Adams! It was one of the best moments of my life, and all thanks to our wonderful hobby of comping.
In my sixteen years entering comps, I've had some wonderful 'money-can't-buy' prizes - a helicopter flight over Glastonbury with the Q magazine photographer, a walk down the red carpet at the BAFTAs, and a weekend in Iceland with Huggy Bear (from Starsky & Hutch!). My son had Myleene Klass fit him with free Start-Rite shoes, and my husband spent a day with Heston Blumenthal at the Fat Duck! But the prize I would most like to win would be the chance to host my own one-off show on the radio, so I'm always looking out for that.
Here at The PrizeFinder I'm afraid we can't offer you a prize quite as unique as these - BUT we do have a great new comp for you, with a prize of a £100 Red Letter Day voucher AND a £10 National Lottery Scratchcard, which could make you £4 million richer! Our lucky winner will be able to choose from over 400 Red Letter Day experiences including a spa day for two, a session in a recording studio, brewing your own beer, skydiving, lunch for two at the Shard or a day at spy academy. It will certainly be a day to remember!
To enter all you need to do is log in using the Rafflecopter widget below (you can use your email address or Facebook login), and then tell us as a comment on the blog, what would be your dream money can't buy prize. This is the ONLY entry method you must complete - and you must log in to Rafflecopter AND leave a blog comment in order for your entry to count.
