You can enter by either voting for the prize on Monday through Thursday or by clicking "enter" on the communal contest page on either Friday, Saturday, or Sunday. If you don't enter first, it won't count your scores and you won't get the prize. Simply playing the game does not enter you.
Yesterday (Saturday), I made sure that I played on all 5 of our family accounts. But this morning, (Sunday), I just happened to be logged in to my daughter's account to do her dailies when I decided to check the progress of the communal contest. To my surprise, she had an "enter competition" button below the progress bar. I know I played the game on her account on Saturday. But it's possible that I forgot to vote for the prize on her account, and therefore she was not officially entered. I had to click "enter competition, " go play the game again on her account, and then it told me that she was entered in the competition.
So make sure that you have either voted for the prize, or entered yourself before you play. Then, after you play the game, go back and make sure that it tells you that you are entered in the competition. |
