Mum's guide to St Albans is hosting a month long Elf on the Shelf competition this December. Over 20 wonderful local businesses have each donated an amazing prize, one of which can be won per day!
It's so easy to enter and there's no catch. All you have to do is send us a photo of your naughty little elf in his or her hiding place before 3pm and you'll be automatically entered into the daily prize draw. There are three ways you can send us your photo and they are all easy peasy!
Each evening a winner will be randomly selected and notified within 48 hours. Also each evening the new prize for the day will be announced so make sure you turn on your notifications from our Facebook and Instagram accounts so you don't forget to send your pic!
Don't just enter once, enter every day and don't be put off from entering again if you win. The winner is randomly selected so you could win again, and again, and again!
