I won WW1

Only comp Ive ever won is when I was about 6 and I entered a competition in the local newspaper - my prize was going round the town on the carnival float with the cast of snow white....met the woman who plays Susan Kennedy in Neighbours as she was playing the queen or something

I was the Under 10's Suffolk Tennis Champion many years ago, and got a Blue Peter badge for a story I wrote in primary school. I also won another CBBC competition, which was funny because they were the only two I ever entered. I clearly have a high success rate.

My stepdad enters about 40/week and wins at least 2/week generally. Usually it's crap like free stuff from a supermarket, but he's also won a holiday to Jamaica (that he sold on ebay).

Hmmm... I won some straighteners when I was a kid and I won a book in a competition more recently. I also recently entered a competition to win tickets to a football game for my dad for the team he supports, won them and then he didn't want to go! :mad:

I won a scooby doo doll. It arrived in the post and I couldn't even remember entering the competition, but hey! Free stuff!

Never won anything worthwhile, mind... well, besides a fiver. Once.

Runner up on the disney channel great email race (many years ago) - won some Ronan Keating CD's :tongue:

Third in an essay competition and won £50 in book tokens

The best competition I ever won, was this riddle one and I won a Proof Copy of one of the Artemis Fowl books several months before it came out, for a book nerd like me, literally one of the best prizes ever :biggrin:
