The PayPal Food-Film-Pun-Off

To celebrate six months of PayPal donations through JustGiving, we're proud to launch our new competition: 

It’s a food-film-pun-off! And ten of you could win a £1,000 donation to your favourite charity...

All you have to do is think up a great food-film-pun and enter it on this page by make a £2 minimum donation using PayPal, leaving your pun as the comment. The money raised will go to ActionAid, tackling the effects of poverty.

Some examples to get you started: Lord of the Onion Rings, Pie Hard, The Prawn Ultimatum…


What’s the prize? 

A £1,000 donation to each of the ten best punsters. The donation can go on your JustGiving page (if you have one) or directly to the charity of your choice.

Anyone is welcome to donate (it’s all for charity after all), but only donations made through PayPal will be entered into the competition. 

Oh and don’t forget you can enter more than once, but remember to check through the other suggestions to make sure your pun hasn’t already been used.

Now that you've got all the details, go ahead and get punning! Good luck!
