Firstly, this is our 100th post. Couldn't have got this far without all our readers, so, thankyou, everyone. As a way of saying thankyou, unite brings you this:
WriteToUnite competition!
The main premise of the competition is simple, write an article about your favourite fingerboard company, and why you think what they do truly demonstrates the essence of what fingerboarding should be about. The winning article will be posted here for everyone to see!
The competition aims to get people to have fun with writing about fingerboarding, in the hopes that more forums all over the world will be full of people actually discussing things about fingerboarding, i.e. what fingerboarding means to them and why; rather than just talking about products. Products are good, but, theres not nearly enough 'discussion' going on, and this hopes to inspire people to change that. The competition will also hopefully promote unitefingerboarding, and, well, after getting to our 100 post milestone, its only fair that we get our name out there a bit more. Unite may be from the UK, but it is for everyone, all over the world, and it'd be great if more people over the world came here, and more people saw it as a worldwide, but UK based site, rather than a UK site.
ALSO, a nice reason to do this other than its fun.. The winner will get a $25 gift certificate for the company that they write about! (we're using dollars, as its open to everyone, and everyone in their own currency can relate to dollars)
Send the entries to unitefingerboarding [at] gmail [dot] com
So, the rules?
-anyone can enter, worldwide, but you must write in english
-the overall best written and most interesting article will win
-choosing of winners + prize distribution is my decision and my decision is final
-you must write an article on a fingerboard company under the premise above
-when emailing in entries, put 'WriteToUnite!' in the subject
-there is no limit on length, but, keep it reasonable. One paragraph is most likely too small, and I don't want to read a whole dissertation either!
-one entry per person
