Announcing the winner of our Guy Fawkes competition
Congratulations to Melanie Moore who sent us this picture of her family’s Guy. We particularly liked the homemade, but well dressed looked as well as the surprisingly accurate rendering of Guy Fawkes face in black marker pen.
Melanie chose to donate the £50 prize to Maternal and Childhealth Advocacy International, which is a small charity dedicated to improving the health care and survival rates of babies, mothers and children in developing countries. MCAI helps poor communities by training doctors, nurses and local health providers in emergency life saving skills, refurbishing children’s wards and providing essential equipment.
Congratulations again Melanie!
Remember, remember, the 5th of November
Here a quick competition for Bonfire Night. Send us a photo of your Guy - before you burn him please! - and the best one will win a £50 donation to the charity of your choice.
What makes a impressive Guy? Well, it could be size, clothing, a humorous facial expression… Let your imagination run riot. This is one instance where nice Guys finish first.
When you’re ready, e-mail your photo to featured@justgiving.com with ‘Guy Fawkes Competition’ in the subject field. The closing date for entries is Wednesday, 11th November.

Running Photo Comp – Winners!
It’s time to announce the winners of our Running Photo competition! A big thank-you to everyone who sent us photos, but we could only pick four overall winners and here they are:
Richard Whitcher – We loved this really artistic black and white photo. We thought the addition of his running stopwatch time was a really innovative touch!
Darren Bradley – Darren’s clever use of Photoshop on a photo of his dad and his uncle made us laugh. “The original 118-118 team from the early eighties!”
Angie Carter – We thought Angie’s photo really showed someone running for enjoyment and we loved the sunny countryside background too!
Tracy Bliss – Tracy sent us her entry with the slogan ‘Running is raising money for charity whilst having fun!’ From this photo we can see that she definitely has fun, running as a cheeky devil-nun!
Well done to our winners, who all receive a copy of ‘The Rough Guide to Running’ and a £20 donation to their page. Thanks again to everyone who entered, we really enjoyed looking through your snaps!
You can find details of our new competition here. It’s a food-film-pun –off, and you could win a £1,000 donation to your page or the charity of your choice!
Rough Guide to Running Photo Competition - Final Chance to Enter!
To celebrate our new Runners’ Blog, Rough Guides have sent a few copies of ‘The Rough Guide to Running’ over to us at JG Towers. So we thought we’d get a little competition going and give them away as prizes at the end of the month along with a £20 donation to your JustGiving page.
It’s a really informative read – with everything from motivation to get you out of the door and running (something most of us find very hard to do!), to diet and hydration tips, advice on running gear to buy, stretching routines, training schedules for all different lengths of races, pages of help on avoiding injuries, as well as info on the top international marathons and even a glossary of runners jargon!
How do you get your hands on one of these wonderful running guides? Well they’re available from the Rough Guide website, as well as all good book stores. But to get one for FREE - all you have to do is enter our competition!
We want you to send us a photo that sums up what running means to you. The more creative, eye-catching and funny the better! To enter, just add your photo to our Flickr stream, or send us your picture via email to joanne@justgiving.com by Monday 24th August and we’ll judge the best one by the end of the month.
Go on, get running and get snapping!

It’s results time…
Last month we launched our competition to guess the fastest donation time through our new site. The results are in, and the fastest donation time we managed was 17.06 seconds. Click here for video evidence.
The winner with the closest guess was made by Thom McKiernan, who guessed a speedy 16 seconds. As a prize we will be donating £100 to his JustGiving page, which he has set up to collect funds for Lakelands Day Care Hospice.
Congratulations Thom, and a big thank you to everyone who entered!
(Don’t forget there is still time to enter our current Photo competition, read more details below)
Can you guess our fastest donation?
We’ve had a little office competition to make the fastest donation through the new JustGiving site.
If you can guess our record time, we’ll make a £100 donation on your page or to your favourite charity.
Just give us your opinion on the new site and add your guess at the end…
