Fun Father's Day comps

It's Daddy's special day on Sunday 19 June, so now's the time to rummage through those old photos and reminisce about the good times for this selection of creative Father's Day comps - good luck!

Win a Father's Day gift of your choice from the Handpicked Collection - just share your favourite gift on Facebook before 9 June 2011 along with a comment and they'll pick the winner.

Win a £100 Firebox voucher by uploading an embarrassing video or photo of your Dad before 10 June 2011 - they'll choose their five favourites to win.

Figleaves want to know why your Dad is so special - their favourite entry will win a £50 gift card. It might seem old fashioned, but rhyming couplets or poems always seem to do well in these type of comps. Post your entry on their Facebook event wall by 10 June 2011. 

Win an XBox 360 and Kinect bundle with John Greed Jewellery - email your most original, upbeat, moving, happy, inspiring or amusing photos of how you connect with dad to competitions@johngreedjewellery.co.uk with the subject line 'Connect to Kinect' by 12 June 2011. The John Greed team will pick the winner. For my entry, I've emailed this photo of me and my Dad heading off to a Birmingham City match!

Fareham Shopping Centre want kids to say why their Dad is the best by 13 June 2011 - the top 3 entries will win 'a variety of prizes', and will need to do publicity photos in the centre on 15th June.
 
Teething Bling are giving away £100 to a fan who uploads a photo of the man in their life and says why he's so amazing! Enter before 15 June 2011.

Argento Jewellery want to see funny photos of you and your Dad - upload to their Facebook wall. Currently this is a competition where the photo with the most likes on 15 June 2011 wins £100 Argento vouchers but I've posted on their wall to ask them to reconsider as this violates Facebook promotion policy. 

Does your Dad look like someone famous? Upload a photo to the Snappy Snaps Facebook Wall by 17 June 2011 and you could win a personalised BBQ set. Here's my entry, heh heh!
Zizzi want to see videos of your Dad dancing - the best will win a party at Zizzi and £200 Ticketmaster vouchers. Enter at their Facebook page before 18 June 2011. I reckon loads of people will just use old videos for this, so if you're recording a new one why not make sure your Dad's dancing to something current like Rihanna or Lady GaGa. The kids will love it!

Toblerone want to know how your Dad has solved a DIY problem (ideally, using Toblerone!) - upload stories, photos or videos. Their favourite will win a 4 day break for 2 to Switzerland! Download the full PDF details here and enter before 19 June 2011. I'm hoping to film my entry for this at the weekend, great timing as Rob has an Ikea wardrobe to put together...

Cardmaking and Papercraft want you to make a Father's Day card to win one of 20 sets of wine-themed cardmaking goodies worth £50 each. Post your card to them before 24 June 2011.

Netmums want to see your favourite photos of your child/ren with the man in their life smiling - their favourite will win £100 Amazon voucher. Enter before 24 June 2011.

Upload a photo of your Dad and say why he's the best in the land at the Forever Friends website and you could win an iPod Nano. They will judge the best entry on 30 June 2011.

Tell Marqués de Monistrol what is the funniest gift you gave to your father to be in with a chance of winning a case of their cava - email your entry to monistrol@unitedwineries.com before 4 July 2011.

...and a final thought - while you're sorting through all these photos of Dad, why not pop one on a memory stick and get it printed off at the supermarket to stick on a Father's Day card? Dad will love it (and it's cheaper than Clinton's!)
