Why on earth is there no option to send the answers in to Keith Aitken Crossword on a Friday this week. Hopefully it's a printing error and not a permanent change. I will be furious if its the latter. The prize is £100 and a bottle of whisky. The price of the paper Is a ridiculous £1.30 for a tabloid. They have already taken away the letter of the week away prize during covid I shall seriously stop buying it now

Daily Express Scotland 

The Express has been reducing/ending prizes on its crosswords across the board this year 

They've also recently got rid of the £1,000 prize in the Sunday Express

A false economy?

Lots of people buy particular newspapers because of crosswords and competitions.

The prize for Keith's Crossword changed quite a while ago - the £100 was dropped so the prize has just been a bottle of whiskey for quite a while.

The title of the crossword was different this Friday indicating it was a "FUN" crossword, possibly in their minds negating the need to explain the removal of the prize.

 

But totally agree that the prize be sorely missed (although not essential for me). I love the challenge of completing it, with the added anticipation of hopefully winning something.

 

Let's hope it's just a brief gap in prizes until a new sponsor or whiskey supplier can be found!

All papers are cutting back on prizes as fewer and fewer people buy the hard copy.

The only reason I ever buy a paper is for the crossword
