Winning Tips 3
Don't be put off by the unusual
The more obscure the competition,
the fewer the entrants. If you find it difficult to find a qualifier
you should rejoice, when others give up your perseverance will pay.
Similarly, so what if you have to buy Iguana Vitamin Drops -
there'll be very few other entrants, and if you don't win you could
always buy an iguana!
Don't just enter the 'Big Ones'
We all want to win the big
one..... the car, the big cash prize, the round the world cruise....
The trouble is, only one person can. One day your boat is going to
come in, but in the meantime try entering those competitions where
multiple lower value prizes are being given away, the 100 cases of
wine, 50 portable TVs, etc,. You stand one heck of a better chance
of winning, and it sure helps boost your ego while your waiting for
the "biggie"
Don't try too hard - it's supposed to be
fun!
Don't have a coronary trying to
pull that literary masterpiece from the deep recesses of your brain.
Comping is supposed to be fun. Just allocate a set period of time
(1-2 hours) on set days to your hobby, but don't spend the entire
time devoted to one comp. Spend 10 to 15 minutes or so on a
competition, and if no good ideas are coming, then move on to the
next .... you can always return to it on a different day!
