I've been entering competitions with Prizefinder for several years and had quite a few wins - some bigger than others, but all welcome.
I've never gone in for skill based competitions. I've never been happy with my attempts and, probably like a lot of other people, I can just imagine the judges laughing at my poor efforts!
But this year I resolved to try and enter some skill based competitions. I saw one on Prizefinder to win a Dove hamper by sending an inspitational motto. I chose "Self Esteem", gave it my best shot and just hit send - because if the judges did laugh, well .... I couldn't see them :-) . And I won!! A few days later a beautifully wrapped hamper arrived, perfect for a little pampering after a long cold Winter.
So my message to anyone else who doesn't think their efforts good enought to enter is - just go for it. You never know, it may pay dividends.
