Why should i be chosen to take part in this competition?

Question

When filling in a form to be entered into a competition the thing that always sets me back is the bit where it says

'tell us why you think you should be chosen to take part?'

Its an ice skating competition by the way and no more than 50 words. Thanks if you can think of something!

Answer 1

I would tell them how hard I worked, and what I could be able to do to exceed the competition.

I wouldn't really know though. I've never had to write a paragraph answer for an entry form.

Answer 2

Many people dread these types of questions but whne you know how to answer them its not so bad. Basically tell them why you like to skate, how your different, and what you can bring to the table. What makes you unique and stand out. When you start it will be a bit awkward but when you start all of a sudden your words start to flow and you might even have to shorten your paragraph. Just be you Good luck!
