The Greatest Guide to Winning Competitions is a timely book. With people having less money in their pockets, entries to competitions will be on the increase. Who better to offer their advice than a very successful comper?
As someone who's won about 2 prizes in their lifetime - and one of them was a prize draw - this book seemed just the ticket. Written by a successful comper, I wanted this book to give me the winning formula for success in competitions and I wasn't disappointed.
Written in an inspirational, no nonsense style, this guide left me thinking that I really do have a chance of winning an array of different competitions, from ones in my local newspaper to ones online.
The most helpful section for me was chapter 5 on how to write slogans - also known as tie breakers - that impress the judges. I'm sure I'm not the only one who has problems with them. Yet the author's guide will genuinely make you think that you can come up with a winner instead of a slogan that you know will end up in the 'No' pile.
After reading this well written book I'm off to enter some competitions. Now I know I have a much better chance of winning.

I've been entering competitions on and off for over 30 years now, in which time I've won lots of little prizes like T-shirts, CD's, Videos, books etc., which were all nice to win and I've won bigger prizes such as a Video Recorder, a Laptop and even a holiday over the years. Yes, ordinary people do win!
One of my very first wins was a t-shirt runners up prize from Comfort Fabric Conditioner and it was the one and only time I'd ever won with a slogan! To be honest, I don't like doing them so I never enter competitions that involve them ............ but maybe after reading some of the tips in this book I may re-consider.
Karen Jones has been entering and winning competitions since childhood, many of which were slogans, and here she shares some of her tricks and tips to help anyone win that elusive prize like a brand new car, a holiday or cash.
Even if you're a seasoned 'comper' or are just a beginner there is something for everyone in this easy to read guide. Set out in chapters, the titles are self-explanatory:-
Getting Started
Entry Foms and Details
Customizing your Entry
Internet and Phone-in Contests
Writing Effective Slogans
Sharing Your Hobby
Chasing the Big Wins
The Value of Research
Keeping Records
She tells you how and where to find entry forms, how to increase the chances of YOUR entry being chosen, how she meticulously researches the products to help her write the perfect slogan, plus so many other details that you've probably never even thought of!
This is a great little book to keep referring to when you're going through a lean spell (like me!) and I would recommend it to any 'comper'.
