You can increase your chances of winning by entering those competitions where you are asked to complete a tiebreaker sentence for example: “I'd like to win a holiday because...”

Gain inspiration by writing down as many apt and relevant words as you can think of, for example:

plane, flying, clouds, wings, cruise ships, islands, exotic, palm trees, sun, sandy beaches.

You may find a dictionary or thesaurus useful for ideas.

Underline any words which have double meaning and can lend themselves to word play for instance: plane, as in:

“It's `plane' when seeking sunshine and leisure, they provide my passport to holiday pleasure'.”

Travelling by ferry and what better to say than:

”Winning this prize is a ferry tale come true!”
Make your tiebreakers eye-catching by adapting words to suit the promoter's product. For Italian pasta you could say:

“It's `plane' when seeking sunshine and leisure, they provide my `pasta - port' to holiday pleasure'.”

To ensure you catch the judge's eye, always emphasise your word play with inverted commas.

Try writing your tiebreakers with a touch of humour for instance:

”I’d like to win this holiday because… then I'd get away with words!”

When the holiday is to a specific location make a list of related words for instance:

Amsterdam, clogs, tulips, windmills, Netherlands.

Use ideas in your tiebreakers for example:

”I'd like to eat product in Amsterdam because...”

”I’d nether-land a better brand”
Use the word capital and you could adapt your tiebreaker to suit most capital cities, as in:

”Paris is a capital place to be!”

Like any other hobby the more you practice the easier it becomes.

And there I rest my case!

Wow! That would make a great tiebreaker for a travel contest!
