I'm a new member and don't know how this works,  I heard about The Silver Forum from 365daysofsilver on YouTube how do I enter the draws as it's not very clear.

Hi @Manchesterjohn, welcome to the forum and thanks for your interest in the prize draws, to be eligible to enter you need to hold a Premium Membership and donate a prize that falls within the criteria mentioned on the first page of this thread, please see below…

It is time for the 2023 Christmas Prize Draw entries. Last year there were over 80 entrants. I believe, you can see last years Christmas Prize Draw topic here, to have an idea as to some of the prizes that were offered.f This year we are keeping the same 1oz minimum silver entry.

Anyone wanting to be entered please list your interest below, by the 26th November 2023 (UK time) ONLY PEOPLE WHO DONATE A PRIZE WILL BE ENTERED INTO THE DRAW. Daily draws will commence from the 30th November. 

Everyone who enters the draws will receive a prize. And everyone who enters will need to donate a prize as per the conditions at the bottom of this post. 

Last year, each day running up to Christmas, draws were released in batches and each prize that was donated was matched up to a winner. The draw(s) itself/themselves will start on the 30th of November, to accommodate those who enter from abroad. All prizes will be assigned randomly to the winners, either by using a random number generator or using a spreadsheet program to randomly match up prizes to winners.

If you already know what the prize is that you will be entering into the draw, please feel free to post the prize below. This will help to encourage more members to join the Christmas Prize Draws and to donate good prizes. If you are unsure of the prize you will be entering but know that you would like to enter you can still state your interest in joining below, to be included in the draws, and add your prize details later.

Conditions of entry:

Minimum prize value of 1oz of silver or £25 GBP / $30 USD / applicable currency equivalent cash value of an alternative prize.

Members entering must hold Premium Membership. As well as Premium Membership helping to support TSF to grow, choosing to only allow Premium Members to enter also means that there is less risk of an entrant defaulting on sending their prize. Any members who enter but does not follow through on their entry risk their account status. We do not anticipate that there will be any issues this year  Feel free to purchase Premium Membership to then enter the draw below. 

As TSF is a worldwide forum, any member who enters does so under the condition that they agree to post the prize worldwide to the winner and to cover the cost of standard world-wide shipping. It is the receivers responsibility to pay any applicable taxes and import duties etc that may be imposed by customs when receiving an international parcel.

Entry is available to any Premium Member in any country worldwide.

I'd like to enter but sadly I have no coins, being new to the forum and collecting. Would £30 be acceptable for me to participate?

Huge thanks for again facilitating this @trp!! I ALWAYS look forward to this each year.

This year I am not 100% certain what to give as the present. I will have a good think about it. What is the deadline to confirm, please!

Hi Andrew, entries shut on the 26th and draws begin on the 30th. There is no rush to announce your prize as long as you’ve registered interest in taking part you’ll be in the draw

A list of entrants and prizes will be posted before the draw starts for reference but may contain ‘tbc’ where people have not announced their prize yet
