What Are 25 Words or Less Competitions?

25 words or less (WOL) competitions ask you to write a creative response to a prompt in a limited number of words. Unlike random draws where luck determines the winner, WOL competitions reward skill, creativity, and clever wordplay. In Australia, competitions based purely on chance require permits or must comply with strict gambling regulations - so by requiring a creative answer, promoters can run competitions without these legal hurdles. The great news? Since most people can't be bothered writing an entry, WOL competitions typically have far fewer entries than random draws, giving you much better odds of winning. Read our complete guide to winning 25 words or less competitions.

How to Win 25 Words Competitions in Australia

Want to increase your chances of winning 25 Words competitions? Here are our expert tips from Australia competition winners:

Top 5 Winning Strategies

  1. 1
    Always mention the brand or product - judges are looking for entries they can use in marketing, so work the brand name in naturally
  2. 2
    Use creative techniques - rhyme, alliteration, puns, wordplay, and acrostics all make your entry memorable and stand out from thousands of generic responses
  3. 3
    Use contractions to save words - "I would have" (3 words) becomes "I'd've" (1 word). "Do not" becomes "don't." This frees up space for more creativity
  4. 4
    Answer the actual question - if they ask "why do you love X?" answer why. If they ask for your "best memory" tell a story. Many entries miss the mark
  5. 5
    Write long first, then cut ruthlessly - draft your answer in 50+ words, then trim filler words like "very", "really", "just". Your first draft is everyone's first idea

Frequently Asked Questions About 25 Words Competitions

What is a 25 words or less competition?
A 25 words or less (WOL) competition requires you to write a creative response to a prompt - such as "Tell us why you love our product" - in 25 words or fewer. Judges select the most creative, memorable, and relevant entry as the winner. Unlike random draws, your skill directly influences your chances of winning.
How are 25 words or less competitions judged?
Judges typically look for entries that are creative, original, relevant to the prompt, and mention the brand. Techniques like rhyme, alliteration, puns, and emotional storytelling score well. The key is making your entry stand out from hundreds of generic responses. Spelling mistakes or exceeding the word count usually mean instant disqualification.
Do hyphenated words count as one or two words?
Hyphenated words (like "mouth-watering" or "sun-kissed") generally count as one word. Contractions ("don't", "I'm") also count as one word. However, different competitions may count differently - always check the terms and conditions, and count your words manually rather than relying on auto-counters.
Are 25 words or less competitions easier to win than random draws?
Yes! A random draw might get 50,000 entries, while a WOL competition might only get 500 because most people can't be bothered writing a creative answer. That's 100x better odds. Plus, with strong creative techniques, you can consistently outperform other entrants - it's skill, not luck.
