Contesting

Helene Hadsell, known as the woman who won prize after prize, shares what she learned about entering contests in this updated third edition. The book explains how contests work, how to put together a strong entry, and how to picture the success you want before it arrives. Her folksy, warm style turns the hobby into a guide to positive living.

Beyond the mechanics, Hadsell describes her philosophy of attraction, goal-setting and visualisation, arguing that the habits that win prizes can improve health, relationships and finances. The edition adds fresh anecdotes and tips from a later contest enthusiast, along with a step-by-step plan for building a personal blueprint and a list of frequently asked questions.
