The post has just arrived and I've won a DVD - "Max Manus Man of War" from BritFilms.tv.

Looks like a good film, although I've not heard much about it. I'm certainly looking forward to watching it.

It will be added to my list of prize wins accessible from the competitions page all of which should be finished by the end of today.

A prize win always spurs me on to enter more comps and this is the secret of regular winning - enter as many as you can.

I recently helped my Dad out with some work he was doing. My job was to get people to fill out a quick form to enter a free prize draw to win a brand new Mini.

It was amazing how many people just weren't interested, citing reasons such as "I've already got a car". Not sure they realised an extra car could be sold and the money spent in any way they wanted.

Still, this kind of attitude means that winning prizes should be easier for the rest of us.

I will be running my own competitions from this website too. I already have the first few prizes in my possession, however if anyone wishes to sponsor a competition prize in return for some free publicity please contact me.
