You don't need to be a foodie to appreciate the trio of comps we're featuring in today's blog. Take a taste below, to discover high-value dough balls, a potential route to being a millionaire through crisp creativity and the chance to grab a range of exciting chutneys!
Will you strike gold with Pizza Express?
Restaurant chain Pizza Express has recently launched a comp themed around one of its popular starters - dough balls!
The competition will see an edible gold covered dough ball discovered in one of its eateries before January is out. The winner who gets this will then get a solid gold doughball.
Meanwhile ten edible-gold covered dough balls are set to be discovered in special edition packs of Original Dough Balls that are sold by grocery retailers.
One among these ten winners is also set to get a real Golden Dough Ball - and all of them can claim one year's supply of Dough Balls.
Each of the two real Golden Dough Ball is actually created from gold - and has a value of £5,000.
The comp is marking 45 years since Pizza Express started serving dough balls - a popular starter option consisting of small pieces of baked dough.
It has been promoted with the help of The Only Way is Essex and I'm A Celebrity: Get Me Out of Here! star Joey Essex.
He undertook a photo shoot in which he was covered in gold body paint. The star was then snapped holding a plush cushion with a golden dough ball on top.
Terms and conditions are available on the Pizza Express Blog.
The pizza eatery's competition is far from the only food-linked big comp at the moment.
Walkers has one underway with a £1 million prize. It's a creative comp where people have to choose from a range of six specific ingredients - among them Devon chicken and Norfolk pork - then come up with a crisp flavour incorporating this and add a picture.
Would-be enterers have been told that it's better if they go for a photo of their own, rather than choosing from stock images have been provided, because consideration creativity will come into play in the judging process.
There's a lengthy set of terms and conditions that, as always, it's a good idea to read before you enter.
Some compers' eyes may be drawn to the fact that, ultimately, this will turn into a voting comp. Compers can worry that these comps have the potential to be unfair for a variety of reasons.
They will be reassured to see that the T&Cs in the Walkers comp have stern rules about voting, such as the fact that only one vote will be allowed to count for each voter per voting channel each day.
And people whose comp entries are involved in the vote will have to sign a set of rules relating to this.
As you will read in the T&Cs, initially a judging panel is set to judge entries on criteria such as practicality and deliciousness, with six shortlisted entries - each representing a different one of the Home Grown Ingredients involved in the comp - eventually decided on.
The plan is that each of these flavours will then get made into an actual crisp variety and sold for a short period.
One of the six finalist flavour creators will get £1 million following a public vote for the top flavour, with the others getting £10,000.
Staying on the theme of food, we've just got time for one more current comp, this one, which can be found on the delicious website, has several sets of The Spice Tailor chutney products to give away, alongside Anjum’s Indian Vegetarian Feast, a cookbook by the woman behind the chutni range, Anjum Anand.
People need to be registered with the site to enter and the closing date is February 1st.
