"Quick! Win a free game!!"

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 -- So get posting!!

Have a look at the previous (technical post) submissions to get an idea of what we're looking for.

Remember, you can win any game of your choice each week - submitting a technical post is one of the many ways to do so.

I was going to enter something, but don't think it'll be ready for the new deadline, never mind!

This week's cut off is Wednesday at midnight by the way all. Last minute sneak ins beware :D

It will be this way from now on, Thursday's Award will be from Thursday (0:00 :S) to Wednesday (24:00) in effect.

I thought I would try a short one today: Making use of Short URL redirection services!!!

I can promise you this is not the case. The new methods of awarding Gaming Awards has mixed things up, and I considered your review within the "rules" we use.

Its all about contribution, if you want to win don't give us any choice but to choose you :D (Look at GhostKiller's latest Gaming Award for a hint on what I mean)

But it was near the end of April - so only about 6 weeks or so ago :¬P

*conspiracy theory*
I'm sure that's not the case!

Remember there are less wins available now, so there's more competition...

I've not won since April :(

But I have my suspicions that they're ignoring my stuff until someone gets closer to my total wins (though I am one of the longest running people still active on the forums I suppose).

Wow it's been well over than a month since i've won a GAD. Then again, it's been more than a month since i've submitted a good review. When my 3 games comes, i'll have reviews and walkthroughs up :D

Well done, I really thought I might be in with a chance this week too.

Thanks once again :)
