I have entered hundreds of competitions yet never won one single thing. What about you lot?

When I was about 10 I once entered a competition in the newspaper to win Banjo-Kazooie. I won! I think it's the best prize (only prize...) I've ever won.

Won loads of Rugrats merchandise like a remote controlled Reptar when I was little. During the summer DS-x2 made my eyes bleed when they sent over Pirates of the Caribbean 2 for the DS.

Oh that reminds me, I did win a competition with DS-x2 once, got King Kong for DS and sold it on ebay and got 10 quid

I haven't won anything, but then I rarely enter competitions so it isn't really surprising!

Kelloggs used to have a computer game competition on cornflakes. I won Theme Park World.

 

I don't think I've ever won anything else though. :(

At the age of 18 I won 125 euro and a little trophy thingie and some pictures at my art school thingie. They pick one person from the 12th grade who they think did great overall (in all the years they've been there, which was 11 years for me) and give them a prize. Apparently they thought I was that person. Had to go up on a stage with some other winners in other categories (the adults) and have pictures taken of me and the mayor. That part sucked.

 

Also, last year there was a contest on the radio and they were giving out some gaming stuff every day for a week. I participated one day by emailing them the answer (Rare), and apparently I won. That got me Age of Empires III and Perfect Dark Zero (which is still in my room, all wrapped in plastic cause I don't have an Xbox360).

A few years back I got a ringpull from a tango can that said 9999A, (they were doing a competition) I knew it was a winner but I never got roung to texting it in. Anyway a while later I had a can of tango so I texted the code in and found out that I had won an eyetoy. However it had been on my desk so long that my dad had thrown the ringpull away and I couldn't claim the prize. Just my luck.

I won some stuff from Fully Booked being a runner-up in one of their competitions, I got a Batman T-shirt and cap, Fully booked t-shirt and a little model car. A few years ago I won some Mario Kart DD mugs and other stuff in a GC competition.

 

Then I won my lovely Samsung D900 in the Children in need raffle last year.

I won £1000* a few months ago

 

 

 

*for my school to spend on IT equipment, bah!

 

 

Was because of "Best use of ICT" in the Young Enterprise 2006 Welsh Final. (I did the IT/art (on a computer - and made a simple CGI video for our trade stand) work for my company). Still, getting to that stage won me a trip to Cardiff (via teachers car), and a night in a very nice hotel.

 

I also won "Best individual achiever" in the North Wales stage of the competition, didn't get anything except a trophy made from Welsh slate tho.

 

Other than that, I haven't won a thing.
