Does Anyone Else Struggle with Abstract Questions on Competitions?

I agree, I also find those sorts of questions off putting. I feel like the winners of comps with those types of questions will always go to the person with the biggest sob story. I like a simple question that I can google the answer to

I agree, I prefer to answer competitions with factual answers. I am not entering so many comps these days. There are so many people entering and therefore your chances are much lower.

I am sticking to surveys and research where you get paid for your time. I also apply for freebies, but only the ones I really want.

I agree, I find them off putting and tend not to enter them. However, these competitions probably have much better odds of winning as fewer will apply. Maybe we should push ourselves in 2021?!

I don't mind them. I've won some smaller prizes this way. Although, it's always worth checking the T&C, as the winner may be still be chosen at random with this type of competition. Which means answers don't always have to be that interesting.

Totally agree, I have had a limited life in some way so couldn't answer those questions you mentioned..

But actually won a book once ,the question was where would you like to holiday in Scotland,romanced on about book location, but that's not really the same...

I am a lazy comper and rarely enter ones that take effort. What gets me is that the winner will often be 'chosen at random' so it stands to reason that someone in an office somewhere is not reading thousands of entries and awarding the prize on merit.

I won a trip on the orient express once a few years with yorkshire tea around london , i had to say why i wanted to win

There were a few winners so we all got to go on it , a very unique day with everything tea orientated

So well worth the extra effort

I don't enter these type of competition as I was never know what to say, my mind always goes blank
