I'll summarise the steps involved:
- Go to www.colouryoursummer.com.au on your Smartphone
- Click "Colour Your Summer"
- Take a photo or upload a photo of 6x new coloured coke cans (Hint see the desktop version of the site on a computer)
- Let it upload (if it fails it will return to the main home screen)
- If it loads a small game, you lost. Otheriwise it will ask for Facebook login or Coke login/register an account and inform you of your win.
10 entries per Facebook account or Coke account per day (Note that it doesn't require the login until you win)
Good Luck All!

Go to page 2 of the comments on this page, about halfway down Kasumi was kind enough to post combinations of each colour.
Sigh, time's running out. I guess I'll just wait till next combo.
I was going to post a bit of a break down of my experience with entering this comp but it seems like other people have different situations. Either way, maybe someone will benefit from this. I understand a lot of people know most of this but some are still having trouble, so if I can help anyone win something then that would be great.
Credit where credit is due as this uses info from others as well as my own situation.
This assumes you know the basics of this competition, please read the OP for the basic rundown. If any information needs correcting, mods please feel free to edit or add to this. Hopefully it makes sense. You can skip to the "Quick Tips" section if you have a general idea of entering. There may be spelling/grammar errors or other stuff so be kind, I'm tired and it's late ;)Images to use: (Courtesy of Kasumi)

Orange http://files.ozbargain.com.au/upload/10722/27806/ozcoke_oran…
Pink http://files.ozbargain.com.au/upload/10722/27807/ozcoke_pink…
Blue http://files.ozbargain.com.au/upload/10722/27808/ozcoke_blue…
Red http://files.ozbargain.com.au/upload/10722/27809/ozcoke_red.…Make sure you have a FB linked account and a Coke rewards account. This will give you a maximum of 20 entries per day. I know others have made more accounts but I think 20 entries is more than enough for one day of entering, it's fair and you don't want it to take over your life ;)
Each day the combination that will give you an "Entry" into the competition is comprised of 6 coloured coke cans in a specific order. Really all it relies on is the correct colour at the end of your 6 can image. Each day 2 of the 6 colours are picked as the “Entry” combo. For example, today's combos that will give you an entry are red or orange at the end of your 6 can image. Each day the "Entry" combos will change and 2 new colours are usually picked.
A user pointed out that instead of making up your own pictures of various can combos, you could just use an image of 6 cans of the same colour.
If you have the right combo you will see a "Whoa" page with the option to login via FB or Coke Rewards. This does not mean you have won anything yet, but it means that you have the correct combo for the day and you are now in the running for an instant prize. If you simply get a page with a game then the combo you have used is incorrect and I would stop using that combo for the day. (The other reason why you may get a game even if you have the correct combo is if you have used that combo within 10 minutes, please try the other colour combo for the day).
Once you log in it will tell you if you have won or not. If you have won a prize it will display a congrats page with the prize pictured. If you did not win you will see a page that says "Ooh, that was close! You didn’t win this time, but here’s a little something for having a go:” and the little something is simply a game just like when you enter the wrong combo.
Quick Tips & Other things:
Each combo can only be used once every 10 minutes. If you have the 2 “entry” combos for the day you can alternate between each one if you want to enter within 10 minutes since your last combo.
Some suggest that they have won prizes within 10-30 minutes of each other, while others have suggested it could be a 40-60 minute gap between prizes. I haven’t seen an exact pattern and have never won within 10-30 minutes. It doesn’t mean it isn’t possible though.
If you get a page that asks you to input your date of birth after you have uploaded the “entry” combo for the day, (for me) this usually renders your combo useless. For example, if all orange is the correct combo to get an entry and I upload it, if I get a date of birth entry page, the next page will simply be a game just like I would get if the combo was incorrect. This “can” be confusing and could lead to thinking you have the wrong combo. If you get this, just wait the 10 minutes and try again. The 10 minute delay is because it seems it also marks the combo as used even though you didn’t get to the “Whoa” page.
It is fine to use the same file over and over again. I myself and others have a set of 6 images, each different colour sets (All blue, all pink etc) and have won multiple times.
I have not seen a need to clear any cookies or reset anything between tries.
If you are having issues of the “entry” combo not registering and you have waited 10 minutes, your image is clear and you didn’t get a birth date entry page in between you may try quitting out of your browser or turning your phone off and on again. Clearing cookies may also help but I have not tried this.If you ever get an error and it asks for you to manually enter the combination by dragging the coke cans to the places above, DO NOT do this. In the t&c’s point 8: “For the avoidance of doubt, Eligible Entrants may be able to manually enter a combination of Coloured Cans using the functions provided on the microsite however manually entering a combination of codes will not constitute an entry into this Competition.”
Basically you are wasting a try. Just hit the back button and try again.This competition can only be entered on a mobile phone or tablet in order to be eligible for a prize. Yes you can easily change your user agent on a PC to make the website think you are on a mobile while using your PC, but for the small amount of ease it provides, you wouldn’t want coke to disqualify you from the comp.
From the t&c’s point 6 “For the avoidance of doubt, entry is via compatible smartphone only and entries cannot be submitted online via a desktop computer.”When using the Coke Rewards login, I find that every second login, it will automatically load without me actually entering any text. I am not sure if this is just me or it happens for others. Either way it doesn’t seem to effect the outcome.
Some prizes are “time sensitive”. This means that if won, you will need to be available asap. This also means that if you haven’t won the major prizes that are time sensitive, you probably aren’t going to now. One of the Havana Brown prizes date has already passed. There are however a few big prizes such as the Vamps etc have not been determined yet and have a window of eta dates. Even with saying this, most of the big prizes have already been won as reported on here and on the lottos site.
I usually find that when my entry is loading, if the progress bar is quick and the page loads up within seconds, I have usually missed out. If it stalls or takes a bit longer, I seem to either have won or exceeded my entries for the day. This could be due to the same “Ooh, that was close” page being cached and the “prize” page being loaded dynamically.
There have been times where the server is overloaded or even down for a little while. When this happens it is best to keep trying, yes it could probably make things slower but you don’t want to miss out when it comes back up.
Some say to try during the early hours, some say stay away on weekends. I think now with the sheer amount of people entering, just try your luck when you can. I have won at all times of the day and wouldn’t recommend any specific time is better or worse.
Hey what If I never won and the comp is ended? There is a second chance draw as stated here: “A draw for any unclaimed Instant Prizes may take place on 28/05/2015 at Handling Matters, Unit 1/3 Green Street, Brookvale, NSW 2100 at 10.00hrs subject to any directions from a regulatory authority. Winners, if any, will be notified in writing within two (2) business days of being drawn and will be published online at coca-cola.com.au from 04/06/2015.”
I won prize “x”, how do I redeem it?
If you win a physical prize such as a set of headphones or an ice watch you will be required to enter your address at the winning prize page on your mobile. Simply fill in the details and your item should arrive in the post within about 7-10 days (28 days is quoted in the terms). Some people have received things fast from the eastern states but it may take longer for other areas.
The colour of your item is Random! Yes you may get pink, you may get green but for people who have won multiple items around the same timeframe have reported that they have received different colours. If the winning page freezes and you don’t get to enter your personal details, simply follow these instructions: “Please call 1800 283 391 if your prize has not arrived in 28 days, or if you have any questions.”Culture Kings voucher: You will be emailed the code that is displayed on your mobile screen. Go to www.culturekings.com.au online and once you add an item to your “bag” click on the green “to checkout” button. Once the page loads up it will have a space at the top called “Gift Cards” and you can either use or check the balance there.
As for In store use, it is best to ask your store manager before you get to the checkout. Some people have had success using these in store and the terms state it is available for online or in store purchases. The vouchers also stack with one user stating they had stacked 8 vouchers in the 1 transaction. Culture Kings vouchers do not expire!JB Hifi: You will be emailed a link to your voucher which you can simply click and it will download. You can now cut this out and present it in store OR you can use it at check out online. Want to make sure your voucher is valid? Go here: https://www.jbhifi.com.au/Gift-Cards/Gift-Card-Check-Balance…
These vouchers also stack with a max of 5 vouchers per transaction.Event Cinemas Double Pass: You will be emailed a link to which you can download your voucher. You can print this out or use the code to book online.
Check this page often, a lot of times people win and share their experience, they also give tips to others so they can also win. Sharing is caring and I wish you ALL the best of luck. Thank you OzBargain community and also Spackbace for posting the deal ☺
Thanks so much for your tips!!!! :) my first win came today after playing for weeks with no luck! Happy now!
You're welcome and congrats!
Awesome! Some things in there I didn't know. Well done, and thanks for sharing! :)
Just to confirm, I have won two prizes (CK voucher and headphones) within 30 minutes of each other, to the minute (e.g. one win at 11:19pm, one at 11:49pm). I don't think that all prizes are allocated at time XX:X9 as many people have reported different times that they won, but I've definitely won at the 30 minute mark.
Thanks for this. I have also read of people winning straight after their previous win so anything is possible.
Thanks alot for sharing your handy tips! :)
Headphones!
I want a watch dammit lol
Did you just win now? I won some headphones about 10 mins ago.
Yep won just now
Nice! Maybe someone will win a watch next.
Just won a JB voucher
Congrats. Busy morning today for wins!
A big thanks to everyone for all your advice, I've been playing this game for weeks and I just won my first prize JB voucher at 630 am using all orange!! It feels sooooo good, thanks so much for sharing your tips and instructions. I didn't believe that I could win anything in this game and tried playing around 1000 times already :)))))) This made my day!
Congrats man!
Couldn't have done it without all the previous pro winners help! Grateful to everyone that's taken the time and effort to help out others to win a prize!
I've got a $10 DJ's voucher which I'd like to swap for JB - also have a $20 Myer voucher (expires on Monday) to swap for JB - PM me if interested.
PM'd
Update - DJ's gone, Myer still available.
I have some vouchers from the Optus comp including $10 and $20 in Dymocks, Peter Alexander, Ticketmaster, Myfun, Itunes, Rebel, and various Iconic vouchers (returns) to swap if anyone has DJs vouchers?
Haven't won anything, made four different fb accounts, this is disastrous.
Starting to lose faith in this. :(Don't give up. Suddenly it'll happen ;)
4 different FB accounts?? Easier just to make new Coke Rewards accounts. FYI, if your email is [email protected], you can register with [email protected], [email protected], etc. and emails will still arrive in your original inbox. Saves you creating new email addresses as well.
If I create a cokerewards account I won't have to use Facebook, correct?
Eh, this is just painful, in all honesty I think I joined the comp a bit too late, especially considering it came out a month ago.
I played sooooooooo many times and It wasnt until today that I actually won something. I was losing so much hope especially when other OzB's had won multiple times and I thought I just had bad luck. Here's to hoping that it will free up after school holidays!
Don't forget, the comp still has about 6 weeks left! Many people wont play through the next 6 weeks, especially when school goes back, also soccer mums wont be playing during school pickup/dropoff times or around dinner time :)
I wonder if there will be a second chance draw, or if the last day will be a frenzy? :)
Finally won an ice watch, first try today!
Well done :)
Thanks!
Another pair of earphones.
Haha congrats
Oops! We couldn't find 6 cans in your image!
All the images that worked for me earlier today are now giving me the above message. Anyone else?
Yep I've been getting the same message for a while now.
Anyone have any idea why?Same have been getting for past 20 mins
Just tried with a photo of actual cans, still getting the message.
Yep still erroring
it happened to me all last night but tried this morning and won headphones
Same here
Same :(
Did we break it? I know this morning people were winning prizes left right and centre.
Here's hoping when it's back up it will spew out all the prizes it had reserved during the downtime ;)Hoping the same haha
Servers are back, just won a $25 CK Voucher, cheering! 2nd prize today.
ahh lucky! Haven't been able to win anything for a while :(
Same, 2nd win today. Haven't won anything for 2-3 days
Working now :)
Headphones! Won around the same time bk07 posted. Go people! May have a lot of built up prizes to get rid of :)
No love here lol
Won some headphones. Just curious to anyone who has had a prize delivered already, did it come as a letter type thing or a parcel? My local PO isn't exactly the best at sending the parcel cards so i'd rather put in my parcel locker address if possible. Thanks
I am also curious about this. Haven't had anything delivered yet.
Also to the people who got 3 or 4 things at once (wow btw), did you win them all on the same day or was it over a couple of days and they sent them all together?
Awesome thanks, i'll use parcel locker next time then. Thanks
same parcel
headphones and watch need to be signed for …..
Watch came in a small box, delivered to door and I had to sign for it.
Headphones came in a small padded bag and was left in the mailbox (not sure if I was supposed to sign and the Postman didn't realise).
Ah i see, thanks
Just won an ice watch the same time as other people were winning.
Awesome! Maybe it did spew prizes when it came back online. Might be a very slow night if so.
All blue or all pink now up.
Blue is giving me an entry (no a successful one yet) but no luck with any other colour…
No luck for me with all blue or pink, straight to the game.
Totally frustrated by this, so many people winning more than once and I'm trying on multiple accounts and phones and just getting 'Ooh that was close' constantly.
Dammit I never win anything!! Really want to win an ice watch for my daughter…
Try at random times throughout the day, whenever you have time. Don't waste all your entries right after each other.
I have:
$25 CK voucher (From Coke comp)
$40 Event Cinemas voucher (From Coke Comp)
2 x $10 Rebel Vouchers (From Optus comp)Wanting to swap all these at the same time for $80 worth of JB vouchers if anyone has that much. JB is more useful as I can put it towards a washing machine.
First try of the day, and another $25 CK Voucher!
Seems like blue and pink are working at the moment, got "Close" a couple of times.
Goodluck!
Not sure if this has been posted yet but if you use Chrome you can get the "User-Agent Switcher for Chrome" extension.
Once it is installed click the icon in the top right corner that looks like a mask and switch it to IOS "iPhone 4" then enter the competitions website https://www.colouryoursummer.com.au .
After you have done that you can freely enter on your browser, just don't forget to switch it back to chrome default when you are finished.
(The only reason i did this is because my phone wont access the site properly)
There goes my productivity at work!
As stated above, they can disqualify you for this. Unlikely, but it is in the T&C's.
I've won earphones so far using that method, we will have to wait and see if they arrive/get a cancellation email.
I have a green and red ice watch. if anyone has a blue or purple watch and they want to swap and if the live in Sydney pm me pls
More earphones… Gonna have a set very soon.
Just won a ice watch. :-)
Nice
So what did everyone win today? (I won a Donut). New combos up in about 30.
Nothing for me today :(
All purple is working!
and they are up…. All Green or all Purple.
Earphones at 2.09am (QLD)
Red, blue, pink, orange, purple,green comboHeadphones all round this morning.
CK voucher at 9:35 am.
All green combo
Just won some earphones, first prize in over a week.
I got 2 JB vouchers this morning around 7-8 am
On average how long is the period of time for everyone from when you won to when you received your prize? Had one prize turn up after five days and the other still hasn't arrived after ten days so was just curious. Thanks.
The watch took a lot longer to arrive than the earphones
I won my first prize on 9th Jan and yet to receive it.
The prize I won on the 9th turned up on the 16th. They must be sending the prizes out randomly or in waves.
I won my first prize on 5th Jan. Only received one parcel so far with 4 of my prizes in it on 16th Jan. Still waiting on my other prizes.
Havent won diddly squat for nearly a week.
I am wondering if someone hasn't worked out a way to hack it (bots?) and hoover up all the chances.
Getting to hate the "Ooo so close" now."Whoa! It looks like you might have discovered something special!"
Don't lie to me Coca cola dammit, I know you get this page on every winning combo (Well, colours of the day) anyway!
This comp will be the death of me..Me neither won anything in the past week. But I should admit I am not trying that hard. Noticed that this competition is becoming more emotional to me so decided to take it easy. If I go hard for another 6 weeks I might need to see a Psychiatrist :)
I won a few times easily at the start and it got me in.
But yeah, zip since then. I think when I finally see the stupid watch and headphones that I wouldnt have bought or I would already own, I will wonder what the earth I was doing! Nothing but tumbleweeds for the last week, so I am doing it less often now.I too wonder what I've been doing! I have played this game around 1000 times and only won once ($10JB) just the other day. It's been really frustrating, and the win-effort ratio is really low. But I am grateful to those ozbargainers dishing some advice out to help otherwise I wouldnt have even won once! Plus, I'm feeling a little flat after the Optus comp!
Yeah! Earphones after almost a week trying.. :)
All orange + red is working.
I have 1x $40 Event Cinema Double Pass for trade if anyone is interested?
Looking for 1x Culture Kings Voucher OR 2x JB HiFi Vouchers.
Thank you :)
@4892:
Can I keep using the same file? Also, should I clear cookies and stuff after every try.
Still no luck.
