Today’s competitions are rather awesome. I am pretty excited about the chance to win £1000 of toys from ELC and have so entered that one myself. How brilliant would that be? However, before I delve into the world of free toys, let’s take a look at the competition from PitchUp.

This competition nets you the chance to win a Vango Calisto 6-berth tent worth £500. The tent has living space, mesh double doors, a large window, a ground sheet and plenty more. To enter the competition you will need to answer the question before June 25 2013.

How would you like to win the very tasty slice of Samsung technology known as the Samsung Galaxy S4? You would? Excellent. All you need to do is enter a short survey with Buy Mobiles and you can stand in line with many other people to win this smartphone.

The only issue with this free competition is the fact that there appears to be no expiry date so I can’t tell you how long you have to enter. I recommend diving straight in and doing the survey if you fancy winning and hoping for the best. The questions are pretty basic and it shouldn’t take you too long to complete it.

Next up is Parentdish with a stunning package of prizes that includes a Trunki ride-on suitcase, a LeapPad2, a LeapPad car viewer, LeapPad headphones, a Trunki paddle Pak, a Jellyfish wash bag and a Crab purse. Nice!

Parentdish is offering five lucky readers the chance to win these goodies stuffed inside a Trunki ride-on suitcase. To enter you need to enter your details into the online form before June 28 2013. It doesn’t ask you to do much more than write your name and email and you’re in! This is an awesome prize and will definitely win parents massive kudos with their kids.

Finally we have a year’s supply of Golden Wonder crisps in a free competition with Good To Know. Golden Wonder teamed up with Britain’s best loved sauces to create two new special edition crisp flavours. To win you need to answer the question below before 27 June 2013 and you could be the person who gets a year’s supply of crisps plus lunchboxes to store them in!

The free competitions for today are just awesome. Actually, they are always awesome, but the ones on offer today are just so scrummy that I wish I could win them all. First, let’s start with the chance to win your child the chance to voice the Christmas TV advert for Playmobil.

The toy giant is scouring the nation for a young fan to voice its nationally broadcast Christmas TV advert. A dream job for any little fan under the age of 10. Playmobil is accepting short videos featuring entrant’s voices from Friday 07 June and the winner will get some awesome prizes. First they will be whisked off to a professional studio and then they will receive £250 of Playmobil toys.

The competition closes at midnight on 04 August and to enter you need to film a short video of your little one talking on camera and either upload it to YouTube and email a link to playmobil@onechocolatecomms.co.uk or email the video file to playmobil@onechocolatecomms.co.uk.

Next up we have a divine summer holiday in the Austrian Alps courtesy of the Sunday Times. To enter the competition you need to answer the question below and read their terms and conditions. Again they seem to think that it is silly to tell you when the competition closes – a rather weird trend I’ve noticed – so enter now just in case.

Q: Who was the landowner?

A: Hugh Locke King

Q: What is the name of the second village?

A: Stoke d’Abernon

Finally, the last free competition is the chance to win a summer of festival tickets courtesy of The Guardian. This is an awesome prize that is open to people over the age of 18 in the UK. The competition closes at midnight on 14 June so you do need to hurry! The festivals included in the prize are Eden Project, Silent Disco, WOMAD, Wakestock, Standon Calling, Boardmasters, Green Man, In the Woods and Bestival.

Thanks to ak-wf1 and andywedge at HUKD!

Today’s competitions are sterling, they really are, and not just because I have a predilection for zombies and can’t wait to see the book, World War Z, made into a movie. It will either be awesome, or a bit pants, but it still has zombies! However, before I shuffle over to the living dead free competition, let’s take a look at what Le Creuset have on offer…

You can win the GS-400 gift set from their wine accessories range if you sign up for their e-newsletter today. You need to fill in the form on the page to be eligible and you’ll be automatically entered into their monthly prize draw. There are the usual terms and conditions and I think the prize may change every now and again, but hey, you can always unsubscribe!

When you’ve finished opening your bottle of wine with your awesome new set, how about zooming about with a cool collection of Matchbox cars? I love this prize, it brings back many fond memories of playing with them as a kid. Since 1953 Matchbox cars and playsets have been bringing fun to the world and to celebrate their 60^th birthday they’ve released 24 cool collectibles.

You can win 12 of these 60^th Anniversary Collection cars from Matchbox and What’s On TV. Winners will get  carton with 12 cars and there may be duplicate designs in the prize.

Q: How old is Matchbox this year?

A: 60

And now it is time to ask for braaainnsss and shuffle on over to Real Radio as they are giving away some awesome World War Z goodies. They teamed up with Paramount Pictures to give away a tent, windscreen protector, hydration pack, first aid survival kit and a torch/charger. Runners up will get a hydration pack, survival kit, torch/charger and a first aid kit. You will need to enter before Thursday July 04 at midnight.

To win you need to answer the question: According to the trailer, when will life as we know it end?

A: 90 days

Get entering and GOOD LUCK!

Thanks pij805 at HUKD!

Today I’ve found some amazing competitions and one of them I really want to win myself. Imagine netting two tickets for the centre court at Wimbledon? Awesome. First up, though we have a great prize from What’s On TV. They are giving away the houseplant of the month plus £450 in National Gardening Vouchers.

This competition closes on 14 June 2013 so get entering if you want to win that ace digital camera from Samsung.

Last, but definitely not least, is the chance to win two centre court tickets to Wimbledon and £1000 to spend at My Wardrobe. You also get complimentary food and wine and all fine things on the day and free Evian! That is an ace competition!

How would you like to win a truly tasty prize from Watches2UI? Yes, I thought so. Wouldn’t it be brilliant if you won one time for Father’s Day? I’ve also uncovered a prize for over £500 of Medicarn fitness equipment and yet another competition for you to win an iPad.

First up we have the awesome prizes that you can win from Watches2U. They are giving away a free watch every single day from their range and all you have to do is visit their page, enter your email address or click on Enter with Facebook. If you don’t win today, you can try again tomorrow. SO, you might not get a Bench watch, but you are putting yourself in line to win something truly cool from their website.

You need to log in or register to the site and you can win state-of-the-art fitness equipment including the Salon Pro Deluxe Vibration Plate or the Medicarn Therapy Pro 500H Shiatsu Massage Cushion. You need to answer one question to be in line for the competition before 28 June 2103. And they are giving away a prize a day, just like Watches2U, so enter again tomorrow if you don’t have any luck today.

Thanks to pij805 and marba01 at HUKD!

If you've been reading the competitions for a while then you'll know that I'm not fussed about iPads, mini or otherwise, so you're on your own when it comes to entering competitions for them.

Up for grabs this time is a 16GB iPad with wifi (I thought they all came with wifi, shows how much I know!) and you just need to like the Globehunters Facebook page, answer the following three questions, and enter your details before 31 July to be in with a chance of winning it.

Q1: Name 2 of the 3 Featured Destinations on the Globehunters Flight Page

Answer: New York and Bangkok

Q2: Name 2 city Break Hotels featured on the Globehunters website
Globehunters City Breaks Page

Answer: Arabian Courtyard and Circus Circus

Q3: All Globehunters flights and holidays are fully protected by which organisation

Answer: ATOL

River Island's been around for ages! I remember when they first opened (that gives away my age somewhat!) and I loved shopping for clothes in there. I still like the occasional rummage around their racks and rails, and I could easily spend £100 in there.

If you fancy the idea of having £100 to spend in River Island too, then enter this competition.

The answer to the question is: 87 and you need to submit your entry before 7 June.

So YOU can have the iPad and I'll have these Jimmy Choos, okay?!

They're worth £360 and I WANT them! I will never have too many pairs of shoes, it's just not possible, and I'd rather win a pair of JCs than pay for them - I'm sure you would too.

The answer to the question is: Shoes (what else?!) and entries have to be in before 14 August 2013.

GOOD LUCK!

My step-daughter has discovered Glastonbury, she's also discovered the price of tickets and that she can't afford one - let alone all the other costs that would be incurred for her to get there.

The only way for her to go would be to win tickets to go. Personally, I can't think of anything I'd like to do less; actually, that's a lie - there are plenty of things I'd like to do less, let's just say 'going to Glasto' isn't one of the things on my bucket list.

If it's on yours then enter this competition to win one of 25 pairs Glastonbury tickets that are going begging - you just need to hand over your details before 25 May to be in with a chance.

Fancy a trip to Japan? A friend of mine has recently returned to the UK after living in Japan for five or so years - he says it's an amazing place, if not a little weird and quirky in places.

And if you're a MotoGP fan too, then this competition will really appeal to you, because there is hotel to race track transfer and return travel. VIP hospitality at the MotoGP race circuit, including food and drinks for qualifying and race day.

Escorted access to the Pit garage, paddock and hospitality and return transfers are also included, as well as optional day excursions to Mount Fuji and Yamaha Motor Museum - properly AWESOME! 

Just register, log in, and enter your details before 1 November.

GOOD LUCK!

Thanks to telephone100 and andywedge at HUKD

Oooooh, I do love a good cash competition. In fact, I don't mind a bad cash competition, just as long as they hand over the MONEY!

There's £3,200 up for grabs with this one - not a sum to be sniffed at, I'm sure you'll agree - and all you have to do to be in with a chance of stashing it is hand over the answer to the question, which I'm going to give you.  The answer, I mean, not the question!

The answer is: A (Japan) and the closing date for online entries is 20th May 2013 at 5pm.

After a fairly horrible time recently, I received some really good news today - it's news good enough to warrant going out in a while and buying a bottle of wine to celebrate. Not a big deal to most people, I know, but I'm in training for a fitness competition so anything 'wine' or 'treat like' has been off the agenda for a very long time.  It also means I'm a very cheap date these days, a small bottle of wine the size of the ones you get on long haul flights are enough to make me feel warm and fuzzy!

Anyway - I'm telling you this because there are six bottles of French wine, worth £50, going begging with this competition.

The answer to the question is: Devils and you need to submit that, along with your details, before 13 June.

Ahhh, a good old iPad competition - they're still as popular as ever, although I reckon Samsung will eventually kill off all things 'i' - except maybe the iPod, but perhaps even that!

But for now, if you're an Apple lover and you want a pad, this is just for you.

There are a few questions to answer, but the good news is they are survey questions so you'll know all the answers.

You need to complete the survey and hand over your details before 20 May.

GOOD LUCK!

Thanks to Painkiller and pjj1805 at HUKD

It's time for the first competition round up of the week again - can you believe it's the 1st of May already tomorrow? Seriously, before we know it, it'll be the summer holidays, then the start of a new school year, then it'll be Christmas again!!

But before then, let's see if you can't be the lucky winner of one of these featured competitions!

Do you fancy a Fortnum and Mason hamper? I don't, but I do have a friend who would go absolutely mad for one, so perhaps I'll try and win it for her.

I can't find any information about what the hamper contains, but it's Fortnum and Mason 'darrrrrling!', so who cares what it has in it!  And if you don't know why Fortnum and Mason is such a big deal, then might I suggest you move on to the next competition.

All you have to do to enter is hand over your details before 31 August.

My husband keeps flirting with the idea of getting a tablet, then he changes his mind and leans more towards something like this Kindle Paper White - we've been playing this game for the last 18 months or so, which is why I haven't bought him either.

I'm going to enter this competition and see if I can win a Kindle Paper White - wow, how nice am I, entering competitions to win prizes for other people. Selfless, that's me!

The answer to the question is: Amazon and you need to enter before 24 May.

If you don't want a book reader, then here's an iPad for you to try and get your mitts on.

You don't have to answer any silly questions, write an essay, or do a funny dance - you just have to like the What CAR? Facebook page, and share if you feel like it.

Just make sure you get that done before 5pm on 20 May.

GOOD LUCK!

Thanks to marba01 and pjj1805 at HUKD

*****THIS COMPETITION IS NOW CLOSED*****

This is one competition that I am pretty sure all you PlayPennies readers will love – one stunning Cath Kidston changing bag plus a pile of gorgeous Nelson’s goodies to keep baby and mum happy.

Well, here we go - another week, another round of competitions!

I'm not a Kindle fan - I won one a few years ago and gave it to Tamsin, so it could be loved! If you, however, are a Kindle fan and have been hankering after a new one, then enter this competition to win a Kindle HD.

You just have to sign up and enter your details before 12 May and you'll be in with a chance of winning.

I remember when I bought my very first Playstation - it only came with one game and that was Gran Tourismo 2.  I feel rather old thinking back to those days; mind you, not as old as when I think back to the first Nintendo and Super Mario!

If you fancy adding a PS3 to your games console collection then this competition is for you - a PS3 and a copy of Wonderbook: Book of Spells is up for grabs. All in, it's worth around £250.

Again, there's no daft question to answer, just hand over your details before 29 April to be in with a chance.

Personally, I could really care less about winning Kindles, PS3s, or holidays where I have to go between certain dates that might not be convenient for me. Just give me CASH!

So this competition to win £7 000 is MY kind of comp' - feel free not to enter, I don't want to dilute my chances!

But if you really HAVE to, then the answer to the question is: A (a gaggle - of geese, I'm guessing!) and the closing date for online entries is 2 May at 10am.

GOOD LUCK!

Thanks to pjj1805, marb01 and Painkiller at HUKD

I'm in SUCH a bad mood - which isn't good, seeing as it's a Friday - but HURRAH, it's the weekend!

One of you lucky PlayPennies competition players has the chance to win £150 of Boden vouchers and two runners up will receive £50 vouchers each.  I have to confess to not liking Boden stuff very much and their models aren't all that either (see, BAD. MOOD!).

But if you like Boden gear then enter this competition and you could win £150 of vouchers to spend there, or £50 if you're one of the runners up.

You don't have to answer any silly questions, just hand over your details before 11.59pm on 16 May.

I could very easily spend my way through lots of money when I'm in a bad mood - £5 000 wouldn't last very long at all. In fact, £5 000 wouldn't last very long when I'm in a good mood either!

The answer to the question is C (France) and the closing date for online entries is 25th April 2013 at 5pm.

If you're in the market for a new travel system then you might want to enter this competition to win a Mountain Buggy Cosmopolitan worth £499, and its cover, which is worth £18.

Here's the official blurb:

The essence of urban lifestyle exuding charm and sophistication, cosmopolitan delivers elegant aesthetics, fashionable denim exterior and exquisite handling on urban terrain, cosmopolitan offers flexibility and freedom to suit your lifestyle. A life without limit.

What a load of old WAFFLE (that's the polite version of what I'm thinking!) - honestly, have you ever read more cheesy marketing spiel! It's enough to put me off altogether - just give me a Cosmopolitan that contains alcohol!

Anyway, if you aren't put off by it then enter.  There's no question to answer, just fill in your details before 30 April and like a couple of pages on Facebook.

GOOD LUCK!

Thanks to pjj1805, Painkiller adn znh3ra54 at HUKD

If you want to know anything about New Zealand, just ask Lynley - she's a Kiwi and would, I'm sure, be more than willing to answer any questions you might have about that little island on the other side of the world.

If you fancy winning yourself a trip there, then enter this competition.  There are a few hoops you need to jump through and some questions you need to answer, so take your time to read through the following:

Clues are obtained from six sites in the form of a word. The six words are entered into the grid and then produce a riddle.

Firstly the words collected so far

• CLUE 1 - EATS
• CLUE 2 - BIRD
• CLUE 3 - IRON
• CLUE 4 - MEAL
• CLUE 5 - KING
• CLUE 6 - will be available from 18th April

When added into the grid you get the following riddle.

• "This thing all things devours"
• "Birds,beasts,trees,flowers"
• "Gnaws iron,bites steel"
• "Grinds hard stones to meal"
• "Slays king,ruins town"
• Not available yet of course but the prediction is that it will be as follows once the last word is added on the 18th.
• "And beats high mountain down"

Following some online searching, by marba01, the suggested answer to this riddle is "TIME"

If you want to wait for the final word before entering then if you enter all six words on the entry form it will count as two entries into the competition. Otherwise you can submit now - but you MUST get your answers in by 26 April.

If you need some cash then enter this competition and perhaps your bank account will be £2 500 heavier after the closing date for entries.

The answer to the question is:  C (Eyesight) and you need to have submitted your entry by 5pm on 18 April.

GOOD LUCK!

Thanks to marba01 and Painkiller at HUKD 

WHERE did this week go?!  You see, I was right! Back on Tuesday I said it was nearly the weekend already, and HERE it is - it's officially the weekend everybody. YIPPPEEEE!

Do you have plans? I do - lots of training in the gym on both Saturday and Sunday, along with a take-away curry night in on Saturday evening whilst watching Life of Pi. My husband hasn't seen it; I've seen it twice already and cannot WAIT to see it again.

With the weather supposed to be much warmer than it has been of late, you might want to go out - perhaps spend the weekend camping? If you discover rats have been at your tent, over the winter, then you might want to see if you can win yourself a new one. Up for grabs here is a Vango Diablo 400 four-man tent and four Snugpak sleeping bags worth £499.

There are three ways to enter! Here's how:

1. Twitter: If you are on Twitter, simply 'follow' @daleswear and 're-tweet' our original tweet about this competition.
2. Facebook: If you are on Facebook, please 'Like' the Daleswear Outdoors page to keep up to date on all the great stuff happening at Daleswear Outdoors
3. Email: If you don't use social media, don't worry; you can enter via signing up to our newsletter, simply enter your email address on the homepage sign-up to newsletter section

You need to do one of those three things before the end of May.

Okay, very quickly for a couple more:

If you fancy winning a 32gb iPod touch then you need to enter this competition.  You simply have to like the Mindshapes Facebook page, before 13 April (that's TOMORROW), to be in with a chance of winning.

If you want more 'i' stuff than just an iPod touch, then enter this competition instead. Going begging, is the following:

• A macbook pro
• A mini iPad; and
• An iPhone 5

How does all that sound? If you want them, enter your details before 3 May.

GOOD LUCK!

Okay, so in my mind it's nearly the weekend - I think it's because the next competition post after this will be on Friday and then it will be the weekend; YIPPEEE!!!  Until then, here are some free competitions for you to try your luck with.

If you're into handbags then you might like the prize that's up for grabs with this competition - an Osprey handbag worth £145. Personally, I think that's a shocking amount of money to spend on a handbag - oh, hang on, you're not going to be spending that money, you're going to win the bag for freeee.

There's no question to answer, just hand over your details before 21 April.

To go with your new handbag, would you like £250 to spend in Dorothy Perkins? I could spend that in a heartbeat - you can keep the bag, I'll have the DP vouchers.

The answer to the question is: people who are influential in the fashion industry and the closing date for entries is 23 April.

An Electrolux hob and a three-piece pan set, worth over £1,000, might not appeal to some of you, but it properly does it for me! A brand new shiny hob for the kitchen, with some shiny, sparkly new pans to use on it.

Just have a look at it in the picture above; LOOK how sexy and sleek it is! Tell me that wouldn't look awesome in your kitchen - heck, it's enough to even make you want to cook at the end of every day.

There's no question to answer, just share your details with the comp organisers before 6 May. 

GOOD LUCK!

****THIS COMPETITION IS NOW CLOSED*****

Kids take on a unique spinning, speeding, time trial challenge!

Spin Mania (rrp £22.99, age 6+) from Drumond Park is a thrilling new action game guaranteed to set hearts pounding with excitement!  The challenge is to ‘spin-up’ three orange helicopter-like rotary plates on the motorised Spinning Machine as fast as they can.

Players carefully lift each one off and carry it, still spinning, on their ‘spin-spike’ to one of three purple plate stands, where they set it down.  Then he or she (both boys and girls love this game) spins-up the next one, and the next one… Sounds easy, huh?  But all three plates must still be spinning on their stands when players finally dart back to the Spinning Machine, stop the clock and mark their time – and the fastest time wins.

Before they start, all players agree the playing area such as a specific room or rooms inside the house, or a defined area outside.  Before each turn, the other players take the plate stands and place them around the agreed playing area.  They must be reasonably easy to see – you can’t actually hide a stand, although it can be a bit difficult to get to – under a table, for instance.

Children can practise and play this brilliant new action game on their own, but of course it’s even more fun to take on one or more opponents. And if you want to make a real party of it, there’s plenty of scope for team challenges, too!
