Magazine Competitions

Many competitions are advertised through magazines. These include win a house, win a holiday, scholarships, writing, photography, win a car, and shopping or experience vouchers among others. Each competition comes with its own terms and conditions as set by the advertiser. Before you enter any competition, check your eligibility. Most advertisers use magazines that have a large readership for their competitions. Others also target audience specific magazines if their competitions are targeted to the audience. For example, a youth magazine can have competitions from advertisers who want to increase their product brand awareness amongst young people.

If you do not buy magazines on a regular basis, you may miss out on good competitions. Loyal readers of a particular magazine may know of ongoing competitions that are not advertised through other channels. An easy way of keeping updated with competitions in Australian magazines is to subscribe for the online format of the magazine. This is cheaper and will help you be more organised. Moreover, you can get email alerts or newsletters when new competitions are launched, giving you a leading edge.

If you subscribe to many online magazines, create an email specifically reserved for the subscriptions. This email should not be your personal one, but you should check it on a regular basis. You are bound to receive newsletters and emails on upcoming issues as well as competitions. Make a point of checking the email every week. Also, keeping note of upcoming competitions and their deadlines will help you avoid missing out by failing to submit your entries within the set time frame.
