My recent winning photos and videos…

I’ve had a few wins with my creative comp entries lately so thought it would be nice to do a little round up for those of you that might have missed these! I have much more success with the fun comps than anything else at the moment and I really enjoy entering them, the odds of winning are far better than with prize draws. I do have an advantage in that I have an Apple Mac, Flip camcorder and a decent camera as well as a background in design – but all you really need is a good imagination – you can use your cameraphone or even webcam to create a good entry if you have an original idea.

This photo of my holiday in Barcelona has won a prize in the Rosemount Days Out competition – this competition runs until September 2011 – to enter, simply upload pictures of your Summer Days Out at www.rosemountdaysout.com

My beautifully crafted (and stinky) cheese watch won a runners-up goodie bag in the Pilgrims Choice Cheese Couture competition…

My Dad, oops I mean Paul Daniels, won a personalised BBQ Set in the Snappy Snaps lookalike competition… tee hee!

I was a runner up in Britain’s Messiest Desk competition and won lots of Avery goodies (thanks to everyone who voted for this, although it was judged in the end!)

My homemade breakfast flapjack won us tickets to Harvest Festival with The Muesli Lover…

This photo of me and the girls won the weekly Lil-lets ‘Let’s Click’ competition – this is running until 10 July 2011 and you could win the weekly prize of a year’s supply of Lil-lets and a photobook. All eight winners are then in with a chance of winning a spa break.

I won £50 to spend at Funky Monkey Pants with this video of Ryland, which was posted on Facebook walls worldwide to celebrate Real Nappy Week!

My ability to change into 10 t-shirts in 53 seconds won me an LG Smartphone…

…and this video of me doing my jacket zip up won me £175 to spend on The North Face products!

I uploaded a video to the Toblerone Father’s Day competition last week, but as yet I don’t know if I’ve been lucky enough to win the prize trip to Switzerland! You can check out my video at the Toblerone website… I think this one’s my most complicated movie yet, I even had to make a list of the shots I needed before shooting it, just like a proper Director!

As for this week, I’m out and about with:
• Pink Lady Apples – upload a photo with one and this week you could win tickets to the Big Chill – only two entries so far!
• Nakd products – every month they’re giving away Nakd goodies to their favourite photo

I’m also having a big birthday picnic on Saturday and will take photos to upload to the Grasstronomy, Vanish and DeVere comps – wish me luck!

Thanks for the comments! Robert, I think your Yorkshire Tea photo is wonderful and had the contest been judged I bet it would win. I don’t win that many voting contests as I hate spamming and badgering people, but there are some ideas at http://www.contestmob.com/blog/100-ideas-on-how-to-get-votes-for-online-voting-contests/ BUT watch out, some of their suggestions will be frowned upon and could even get you removed from the contest – be careful, and good luck!

Well done on your photo comps – I’ve entered my first photo comp – the Yorkshire Tea competition you promoted previously. It is very stressful as my picture A Cup of Tree doesn’t seem to want to get past 6th place in the votes. Do you have any advice ?

Well Done. Your video entries are great. I quite enjoy the photography ones but my camera is not too hot. Will need to try and win one. Thanks for the great comps.

You’ve done really well with these comps and some great prizes. I won a runner’s up prize for my cheese handbag but haven’t received it yet. I’ve got a ‘pink lady’ photo ready to go but I don’t want this weeks prize so I’ll wait and see what next weeks prize is. I’m not up to doing videos yet, need to win a video camera first.
Thank you for inspiring me to enter some of these.
