At 4:30pm every Thursday, we will be awarding a Gaming Award for a technical post - giving you another chance to win a free game (or a £30 Amazon voucher) each week!
Simply write up a (fairly) comprehensive guide or tutorial about how to do something technical and you will be in with a chance of winning. You can enter your submission at any time to be in with a chance of winning (not just on Thursdays).
If you submit after the deadline, then your submission will be considered in next weeks' competition.
If there are no submissions made, then the award will be donated to charity --

Well done, another good post.
Well done, i think it was a worthy post to win (but i like pb's method for picking technical winners best lol)
But well done and i guess i recieve a "must try harder" sticker (got too many of those in school!!!
But on the bright side, i won golf

VIP+ comes with an in-built visitor statistics feature that will allow you to see not only hits but also other visitor details such as OS, browser and referral page.

That looks to me like 27 (wait no, 26 :D) GAD Awards waiting to be won..! Although to be honest, most of them only need a line of text to be answered, but still.
In the future, we might write things like this ourselves but for now we have more in-house and more product-orientated things to worry about.
There's about another 7 tutorials for InstantPro waiting to be finalised so it's all go. A resourceful blog / knowledge base has been discussed though.
