Welcome and good luck to you. Can't help you with those sites as I do not enter them.

I have been consistently entering contests for almost 10 months now. Most of the prizes have been $50 or less. In 10 months I have won about $1,500 worth of prizes. The 2 biggest were a weekend in the wine area in Niagara ($850) and a picnic prize package ($315) with a variety of things in it.

Make sure you enter local contests and ones for your province since fewer people enter. I have had a lot of luck with instant win contests (smaller things) so if you like the prizes try those. I have won with once only entries as well as dailies. I have not had a huge win yet but things are really picking up in terms of the frequency of my wins. It takes months before you start to win so do not get discouraged. Remember that many of the contests you are entering are at least 1 to 3 months in length and sometimes longer so it is a long time before you find out if you won.

Other good contest web sites are contestgirl.com, cool beepbeepbeepbeepbeepbeepbeep, pricedealnetwork, and smartbeepbeepbeepbeepbeepbeepbeep. I also like lastchancecontests.com since it notes what is finishing in the next few days. If you are just starting this will flag a lot of the once only entries that are finishing (the contest could have been running for ages so it is difficult to look at all the history but it will definitely help you.) Good luck and I hope to see your win announcements soon.
