How it works

Outdoor prize competitions, kept simple

Choose a WilderGoat competition, check the prize details, answer the question, pick your entries, then see whether instant wins are included and whether there is a main prize later.

The plain version

1. Every competition shows the prizes, entry limits, price, closing date and entry route.

2. Your valid entry numbers are randomly assigned. If instant wins are included, they are checked straight away.

3. Where a main prize is included, your valid entries stay live for the later verified draw. Click here or watch the video for more.

Before you enter

What you can check first.

No rush, no mystery. The key details should be visible before you decide whether a competition is worth entering.

01

Prize details

See what prizes are included, what they are worth, and any important delivery or collection notes.

02

Entry Info

Each competition page lists the entry price, entry cap, any per-person limit, and whether instant wins or a main prize are included.

03

Closing date

The competition page shows when entries close, so you know the deadline before you enter online or by post.

The entry process

From browsing to result.

The process is designed to be easy to follow, with instant wins handled straight away and any main prize handled later.

01

Choose a competition

Pick the outdoor prize competition you would actually like to enter. Each page explains the prizes, entry price, cap, closing date and important notes.

02

Answer the question

Online entries include a competition question where required. Choose your answer carefully before completing checkout.

03

Choose your entries

Select the number of entries you want, within the limit shown on that competition page. Your basket and account help keep the entry limit fair.

04

Create or log in

Your WilderGoat account lets us record entries, apply limits, contact you if you win and keep the competition traceable.

05

Entries are recorded

Once confirmed, your valid entries are recorded against your account. Entry numbers are automatically assigned randomly rather than picked manually.

06

Your result

If instant wins are included, your numbers are checked against the locked instant-winning numbers straight away. If there is a main prize, those valid entries remain live for the verified draw after the competition closes. See how the main winner is picked for more information.

No purchase necessary

Free postal entry is part of every competition.

You can enter any active WilderGoat competition for free by post. Valid postal entries are eligible for the same advertised prizes as paid online entries, including instant wins and any main prize where applicable.

Postal entries must follow the instructions on the Free Postal Entry page and arrive before the relevant closing date.

Fairness checks

Paid and valid postal entries are treated on the same basis for the advertised prizes.

Instant-winning numbers are locked in advance; main-prize winners are selected later using the verified draw process.

Winner details are checked before a prize is released.

Records are kept so competitions can be checked if needed.

If you win

What happens next.

Instant winners are shown their result after confirmation. Main-prize winners, where applicable, are contacted after the draw. Verification may be needed before a physical prize is released.

01

Winner notified

Instant results may appear straight away. We also contact winners directly where needed using the email address on their account.

02

Verification

Winners may be asked for ID and proof of address before a prize is delivered or collected.

03

Prize arranged

Once verified, delivery or collection is arranged according to the competition details and prize requirements.
