The contest featured in this thread is one of a series of Creative Presentations. In order to win the Grand Prize featured($250,000), the sponsor would have to choose that particular Creative Presentation as the winning one. Meaning that if you only played that one and not any of the others and they chose one of the others as the winner, you'd be out of luck. So, in the interest of fairness and getting information out there, here are the other Creative Presentations linked to this one:

1. Cosmopolitan's Wish Come True Sweepstakes:

This appears to be part of the "Wish Come True" series of creative presentations. A (partial) list of these sweeps can be found in the wiki in this thread:

OK...I was about to post about the Marie Claire version of this and managed to uncover it already posted here.

Its a bit confusing because the contest seems to be called different things all over. The entry page of the Marie Claire says You could win Sarah Jessica Parkers look (a 250K look!), but the rules say "Wish Come True".

There is another MC contest that says Win Sarah Jessica Parkers look...but its for like $150 in makeup. Weird

The Wiki has me a bit confused...should I be entering EACH one of those creative presentation sweeps every day for the best chance to win?

It is possible to enter each creative presentation once per day, if that's what the particular presentation says. You see each presentation can have different rules of entry. Mind you with 100s of presentations spread out, you are looking at a lot of entries. Ask yourself what happens when a presentation isn't chosen to award a prize? Are all entries lumped together? The answer is NO. If you don't enter every presentation then you lose your chance of winning. Furthermore, these are often spread out over a year to several years time.

Now ask yourself another question--what would happen if say the Magazine ran several dozen creative presentations for cookbooks. The cookbooks are really several page ads for the magainze. What happens when they pick to award that as the prize, instead of the big cash sum? Is that ok to you?

Many many reasons why creative presentations can be borderline scams...your choice if its worth the effort to enter or not.
