Ask Prizetastic: Where to Find Competitions to Enter?

I really want people to understand the basics of entering and winning competitions and sweepstakes, and would love people to ask questions. Leave a comment here if you have a question about how to win.

Louisa from http://bloggingaussie.blogspot.com asked a really great question in my Finding Motivation to Enter Competitions post.

Where to Find Competitions to enter on a daily basis?

This is a really great question, and the answer is always a broad one…… EVERYWHERE

Seriously, there are paid forums that provide you with lists of competitions, regardless of the country you live in, but if you don’t want to pay for a membership straight away, there are lots of great sites you can visit that always have competitions running. The best thing is that they all offer free entry.

There is also an amazing number of competitions that run regularly through supermarkets, and entering is generally as easy as switching to a new brand for the time the competitions are running.

For Australians, I have composed a list of websites that have great competitions running on a regular basis, so Louisa, head on over to these websites and get started entering…. I will be sure to post any really great competitions I find onto the blog too.

No matter where you live in the world, it’s easy to keep your eye out to spot contests, sweepstakes and competitions that are running. Major magazine publications, TV Channels, Major Brands, Supermarkets and grocery stores regularly run competitions, it’s just a matter of looking out for the entry forms or posters and then taking the time to enter.

Here’s a short list for Australian’s interested in getting started, I’ll update with more soon:

• http://www.ten.com.au - This is the Channel 10 Website that always has great competitions running. You will have to sign up for membership but it’s definately worth it. Keep in mind that these competitions may have a large number of entries, but definately worth sticking with, I’ve won a lego prize pack for my son here.
• http://www.take40.com.au - The same goes with this site. Always lots of great competitions, although can have a large number of entries. I have scored a few smaller music packs from here.
• http://www.mtv.com.au - Lots of great competitons based around movie and music promotions
