January entries almost closed

If you are planning to enter the Wish Upon A Wedding in January, you only have a couple of days left to do so.

The paper has received the first entries and the competition is afoot.

Anyone living in Springs or KwaThema who got engaged this month, or last December (2018) is eligible to enter the competition and stands the chance of winning a fully paid for wedding.

How it works

Each month, from January 1 to December 31, we will run a proposal of the month competition, inviting anyone who has gotten engaged over the last two months to enter the competition.

The deadline for the January competition is 4pm on January 31.

However, if you get engaged in January, you will still be eligible to enter the February competition.

You will, however, not be able to enter in March as each month’s competition is only open to people getting engaged in the current month and the month before.

Couples may only enter once – you cannot resubmit your entry for the following month if you do not win the first time you enter.

Once the monthly competition has closed, each couple’s story, photo and video will be posted online at www.springsadvertiser.co.za/wish-upon-wedding/ and readers will be invited to vote for their favourite proposal or couple.

• When voting for their favourite couple of the month, readers may only vote once. Duplicate entries from the same person will not be counted.

• Readers may vote for a different couple, or multiple couples, each month and in the final round.

The winner of each of the 12 monthly competitions will move into the final round in which readers will vote for the best proposal of the year, selecting the grand-prize winners.
