Host a Swap It party and win prizes

Sign up to host a Swap It party and you'll be in with a chance of winning one of our four competitions.

Automatic prize draw

Register your party online and your name will automatically be entered into a prize draw. You must register before April 24th. The winner will be picked at random from a giant hat and informed on 25 April.

Biggest party

The name's a giveaway! This competition is open to anyone who has 10 or more guests at their party. Make sure you take a photo of your guests with at least one bit of Swap It material, either a poster or an item history tag, both available in the downloadable Party Bag.

Email your photo to active@oxfam.org.uk by 29 April, along with the number of guests you actually had, under the subject line "Biggest Party".

Most creative party

We're looking for parties with a twist! If you had a dress up theme, held it in a strange place, or swapped some weird and wonderful items you could be a winner.

To enter, take a photo at your party and email it to active@oxfam.org.uk by 29 April, with the subject line "Most Creative Party" and a 50 - 100 word description of why your party was the most creative.

Best photo

Pride yourself on your photographic exploits? Have a bunch of crazy friends ready to pose? Then this competition is for you.

Take the photo at your party and by 29 April send it through to active@oxfam.org.uk with the subject heading "Best Photo". Only one photo per party host.
