Over the years, Compers News has included the stories of many compers who, rather than simply winning money or a particular product, have got their hands on an experience.

One of the main 'experience' prizes that people like to win, of course, is a holiday. And there have been lots of people who have appeared in the mag that have managed to get their hand on this sort of prize, one of the most exciting that any comper can claim!

Comps don't come much bigger than Britain's Got Talent!

Compers might not traditionally think of the ITV talent contest as being similar to the competitions they enter every day - many of which require little more than the filling-in of a form. But the much-loved TV show could be described as one of the best-known creative comps out there!

Acts have to get through a number of rounds in which they're judged on talents - from singing to dancing and much more - before one is voted the winner by the public.

Food and drink promos have come with some eye-wateringly large cash prizes lately.

First, Walkers started up its 'Do Us a Flavour' comp, which has been gracing supermarkets up and down the land (though you don't need to buy any crisps to enter).

The grand prize in this comp is a massive £1 million and it's a creative comp, in which people are asked to create a Walkers Crisps flavour.

Now, another on-pack promoted comp with a £1 million prize has been announced by Halewood International, the company behind Crabbie's drinks.
