This has been running for AGES. It runs every day, not just the 21st - they just re-write the rules every day so that each giveaway is its own contest instead of 1 really long sweeps with prizes every day. Not sure what the difference is legally, but functionally its the same as a daily that runs for a long time. FYI - the only announce the winners on their facebook and twitter feeds and you have to claim the prize (24hrs I think) - they will not notify you.

It may say that in the rules, but in reality, its not the case.

Like I said, its been going on for well over a year, so scroll back in their facebook wall and read all the people whining that they didn't respond in time to the facbook/twitter post.

Did GoPro say they didn't send emails? While they announce on FB and Twitter, there is no claim form or email address they are posting for people to respond to, I'm guessing the people miss their email as spam, then see their name on the FB/Twitter post later and get upset they lost out. Seems extremely common for people to either not get emails or not realize to check spam folders on all sorts of giveaways, I've been an alternate winner several times.

I'll like them on FB just in case, I've been entering for over a year myself.
