Question:
I’ve just entered there fix it with flair competition which closes tomorrow,
but I see the top 10 finalists will be in the August issue which is already out?
Does this mean that the closing date was wrong and we have missed it?!?!?!
Please let me know.
Hi Candice,
Fix it with Flair is an ongoing competition.
So your entries will roll over into the next round for 2013.
I also just sent in entry, I’m really sad that its going to roll over to next year
Pathetic reply! How can you advertise a closing date for entries and pick ten before that date?
Then fob off the late yet legal entries as eligible for next year? We also would have entered by the due date but as subscribers received our August edition of the mag to find out this farce-closing -date. All already decided. Sad but extremely bad management and planning!

I’m confused ?
Why would the rules of the competition state that it closes on the 17th of July when in actual fact you’ve already chosen the finalists and printed them in the Aug edition ?
Why then extend the competition until tomorrow ? Why not close a month earlier and clearly state that all submissions will be considered next year ?
I am sitting with the August issue in fron of me and want to vote for my Top 5 in oreder to be elligible to win the R500 “Home” hamper, but I cant seem to find where this can be done.
I don’t know how you choose a winner. I think that all of the entries are amazing & each entrant has such vision in what they have achieved in their home makeovers. They are all winners in my mind.
