    Smile Competition now running (ended 28/2/2010)

    Hi all,

    The subscriber competition is now running and ends at the end of February.

    We've said the prize is not yet decided... but that it includes an engraved award. So, I wondered if anyone had any ideas/suggestions for a prize?

    I think we'll give the winning subscriber some choices.. and the main item I can think of that seems a great prize at present is an ipod touch. Coops won one last time round and it does seem a great bit of kit and a neat treat for uploading a great photo to ukexpert.

    I wonder what other choices we could offer? - ideas welcome!

    ..one thing one of my Daughters got at Christmas was a Nintendo DS console, she seems very pleased with that.. so it may be an idea for another item to include.

    Happy New Year,

    Steve

    Another thought...

    I just saw a TV advert for Operation Smile - where you donate £150 to give a child a smile in place of a cleft lip.

    I know little about this charity and can't recommend it.. but we could certainly add a £150 donation to it to the prize options for this competition.

    So, so far we will have as prize options, in addition to the engraved award:

    A choice of one of:

    ipod Touch

    Nintendo DS

    A £150 contribution to operationsmile.org.uk to pay for a cleft lip correction operation for a child.

    ...further ideas welcomed, and we can of course have unlimited numbers of prize options.

    ..this competition was won by....

    Graham!

    Well done to you. Please let me know your choice from the prizes detailed in the messages above.

    The reasons for the choice were the composition, the colours, the lighting, and the closeness to the competition theme.

    The winning image was this one.

    There were lots of great photos entered, and well done to all ukexpert subscribers who took part.

    The next competition starts today.

    All the best,

    Steve

    Well done, Graham. It beat some really chilly pictures.
    Just because you're paranoid it doesn't mean they're not out to get you.

    Thanks everyone for the comments, I chose the Ipod Touch as the prize & it has just been delivered, therefore my daughter can show me how to use it this weekend.
    Also many thanks to Andy & Steve for organising the competition & looking after the UKX members.
