THE INSTANT HAVEN FAMOUS QUOTES COMPETITION, THE PRIZES, THE RULES AND PREVIOUS WINNERS!

This competition has been sponsored by the Oxford University Press in the form of a generous donation. So the lucky winner gets two prizes - a sum of money (one third of the money raised from competition entry ticket sales) plus a copy of the Oxford Dictionary of Quotations – hot off the press!

Each competition on this website will now aim to raise money for a different charity – and the charity we want to raise money for with the current competition is Kith and Kids. One third of the money raised from ticket sales – that is £1.00 from every ticket sold - will go to Kith and Kids. It is a fantastic organisation which improves the lives of children and adults with learning disabilities or autism by providing information, resources and facilities that enable them to enjoy life and be who they want to be.

Here are the rules and how to play:

You must pay £3.00 to enter. £1.00 from every ticket sold goes to Kith and Kids.

After you have paid, you will be navigated to a page which features three multiple choice questions.  All of them are famous quotes – things that famous people have said or written. You must answer all three questions correctly in order for your ticket to be entered into the prize draw.

You will be timed out after 6 minutes. Our timer counts down in seconds, so that is 360 seconds. If you decide to pay for more than one go, you will be timed out after 6 minutes every time you enter. So, for example, if you decide to enter 3 times, you will be navigated to the questions page 3 times and have 6 minutes to complete your entry every time.

That’s not all. Just to keep you on your toes, one question will be changed at random intervals of time...just to keep it interesting!

Every ticket that is bought has a number on it. All the correct entries go into a prize draw. The winning ticket will be picked randomly by the computer.

How the cash prize works:

The cash prize will be one third of the total revenue from competition entry ticket sales. One third will go to Kith and Kids – the charity we are aiming to raise money for with this competition.  Instant Haven Ltd. will keep the remaining one third to cover costs.  So for example, if we sell 10 tickets, equivalent to £30.00, the winner will receive £10.00 and Kith and Kids will receive £10.00. If we sell 10,000 tickets, equivalent to £30,000, the winner will receive £10,000, and Kith and Kids will receive £10,000. The answers to all the questions used in the competition will be published on this website after this competition has closed.
