Welcome to the FiringSquad Editors Challenge sponsored by the
Intel®
Core™2 Extreme processor.
So, you think should be part of the Gaming news industry? We're willing
to give away $3,500 in cash and $15,000 in contracts to the people who can
prove it.
How many times have you gone to your favorite website and said "That
review sucks. I can do better"? or are you an aspiring video journalist? Now
is your chance to prove it. With the help of our sponsor, Intel we're
launching our first ever Editors Challenge. But this is more than a
simple contest -- the winners of this competition will be offered contracts
with FiringSquad.com. No, you won't be able to quit your day job, but you
will get a chance to test the latest hardware and software before it's even
announced to the public, and have a chance to make a difference in this
industry.
Beyond that, the limits are up to you.
