The 30th Birthday Bash competition is now closed. The winners are below. Read what they had to say about turning the big 3-0 this year!:

Life begins at 30 because I can still laugh at stupid jokes, still dip my feet in the sea and scream, make cupcakes with skulls and crossbones sugar icing on them and have ice-cream for breakfast.

Thirty is the new twenty! You know what you want and know how to get it!

Life begins at 30..because I went in to labour with my first child on my 30th Birthday!
Jennifer Ambrose

I'm most proud of going to see Pearl Jam at MadisonSquareGarden in New York before I'm 30 this year!!!
Dean Phillips

I'm most proud of cycling from London to Amsterdam and doing the Great North Run before I hit the big 3 0. Unfortunately I've not been able to do a marathon yet but I definitely will in my 30's!

I'm most proud of living life to the full, surrounded by the most amazing friends I could ever wish for - starting how I mean to go on! Bring on the 30-somethings.

Life begins at 30 because you have the wisdom, experience and humour that 30 years on the planet gives you but you are still young so get to keep the energy and looks that go with youth as well. yay!

Travelling around Australia, Thailand, Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia in 2004. I had to try ice-cream from every country I visited. On doing so I still believe Ben & Jerry's is best ice-cream in the world. Now I have proved it!!
Alexis Pay

I’m most proud of my cycle ride from Berlin to Warsaw for Marie Curie. I also think life begins at 30 because the mooooosic keeps getting better and better.

I am most proud of giving birth to my son last year, he is amazing and will be one when I turn the big 3-0 so he will keep me young and with plenty of excuses to have your fab ice cream in the house :)
