    The details of this competition were received from Sapphire Technology, here in the UK.

    Though the questionnaire refers to US Dollars, you are able to select your region and country without issue, suggesting this is a global competition.

    I will confirm this with Sapphire and update this thread with any response.

    Many thanks for the query.

    Once you go to the Sapphire site you select the UK from the list onscreen and then simply click on the main image on the UK homepage. This takes you to the competition so I'm guessing that you can enter in the UK. It also asks country etc in the questionairre and it accepted my entry with no probs.

    Just have to wait and see.

    As promised, I contacted Sapphire and they have confirmed that the competition is indeed open worldwide and has no country or region restrictions at all.

    I hope this helps.

    yep thank you

    Confusion was because I went to the UK site and didn't see any competition details, so went to US site and saw the 'look for the logo' sweepstakes offering a vista prize package at the bottom, clicking on that it said 'Offer good in US only'. Guess I looked at the wrong competition lol....

    Didn't think of clicking on main image thought that would just take me to the product advertisements

    Is this still running? I can't for the life of me see where to enter.

    The main picture on the middle of the front page isnt a link, I can't see where the competition is
