An online competition is usually a competition which is held solely online. Some online competitions are merely a case of filling in your details, whilst others require some more thought - perhaps answering some questions correctly, or doing something or creating something. Some online competitions are for things such as creating games or writing stories. Lots of online competitions are free, however some will charge a small fee to enter to cover the cost of the prizes.

There are whole websites which are dedicated to online competitons where all the latest online competitions on the internet are posted up.

The prizes from an online competition will vary - some are small products, whereas others will be large prizes such as games consoles or cars.

When entering online competitions, it is advisable to not use your normal email address as many companies will sell youe details on and you end up with a lot of spam. Therefore, it is useful to have a ‘throwaway’ email which you don’t mind if you lose so that you can just stop checking the account if you get inundated with spam without worrying that you are missing important emails.
