I have no idea whether I have put this in the right place as I am relatively new to this site. I have registered and regularly enter the excellent competitions. However, I have noticed in the Terms and Conditions the following:

"6. All entrants to the Competition must answer the Competition questions correctly and submit their entry by entering their contact details (including a contact telephone number) via the UKTV Style Website. The Promoter shall be under no obligation to ensure the accuracy or fairness of the questions posed to competitors."

When I enter a competition I am asked to check the box to say that I have read the terms and conditions which I do but I am never asked or prompted to include a contact telephone number and neither was I expected to when I registered with this site.

Am I being entered into the competitions?

Needless to say I have yet to be successful in any competition to date although I appreciate there are lots of entries Wink

Thanks for your help.

Hi there,

Don't worry, you have definitely been entered into the competitions! If we need your telephone number, we will provide a field for you to put it in. However, we usually contact our competition winners via email, so we rarely request telephone numbers.

As you said, we do get lots of entries to the competitions but it's free to enter so you may as well give them a go! We contact new winners every week... so believe us, people do get lucky!

Good luck!

Eek I have also entered all your competions on the countdown to Easter but I'm confused with the Style Gardens comps nowhere to press submit or enter. also this sight is being slowed down with too many pop-ups LBW

Hi LBW
There is an 'enter' button at the bottom of each competitions page on Style and Style Gardens - just click and your entry will be submitted.
Sorry about the pop-ups - we're trying to keep these to a minimum as we're know they're disruptive.
Thanks

On the subject of competitions, I tried to enter the Boots one, when it said click on this link to start survey nothing happened, I've tried it several times at several times of day and its always the same. Am I the only one this happens to or are other people having problems with the Boots comp.

Lynn

P.S. I don't have problems with any other links from this site only the Boots one. Frown

Hiya Lynn,

Do you have a pop up blocker? If so then hold down the CTRL key as you click on the link for the
"competition". The Boots promo is actually an outside consumer questionnaire rather than a standard UKTV Style competition.

Hope that helps.

Hi Stephen

Well i do have a pop up blocker and tried what you said, still the same, no result, so i turned off the blocker and tried again still the same. I guess i'm just not destined to enter that competition lol.

Thanks all the same for your help.

If anyone else has any more ideas ( or you Stephen ) i would be grateful, i like entering competitions it breaks the stress of my days/life lol

Thanks

Lynn

Hiya Lynn (again)

From what I can tell Boots (or their web designers) have seriously underestimated the popularity of their competition. On the times that I have tried I have either been faced with a blank screen or a "Clear off and try again later" message (I could be paraphrasing there Wink )

I think it is very much a case of pot luck whether you get to do their blithering questionnaire. I have given it up as a bad job.

Happy Easter to you and eveyone on and at UKTV especially UKTVStyle of course.

I have no trouble with the boots site. But i do wonder if anyone really does win these competions and will we be told who does. Cool

I'm having problems staying logged on the ukstyle gardens site.
I manage to log on ok but as soon as click to go onto another page, i've been automatically logged out.
This is the only web site i have had trouble with. Does anyone know what could cause this. Angry

Hi there,
There's an article called Lucky Strike in the competitions area (this article goes up and down when we're judging competitions etc). This lists all the winners from our recent competitions, but does not yet include our Easter Countdown winners.

ps. Please note, we will ALWAYS get in touch with winners of our competitions via email - this article is just a list of winners who have already been contacted.
