Write Your Way to the 2008 WSOP

Do you want to experience the glitz, glamour and excitement of the WSOP Main Event the way the pros do? Then here’s your chance to hang with the biggest names in tournament poker reporting as Full Tilt Poker’s “Blogger on the Rail” at the world’s biggest poker tournament.

Our last Battle of the Bloggers writing contest, Write Your Way to Australia, was a huge success and generated some tremendous blog posts. This time around, we’ve raised the stakes. The winner of the Write Your Way to the 2008 WSOP will earn a fantastic prize package, including:

  • Round-trip airfare to Las Vegas
  • Accommodation for July 9th to the 16th
  • $1,000 cash spending money
  • Your daily coverage posted exclusively on Poker From The Rail

All you’ve got to do is come up with two fictional blog entries about “what happened at the 2008 WSOP” and post them on your blog. The first post should showcase your ability to provide journalistic coverage for the biggest poker event in the world. The second post should show off your storytelling abilities by providing an entertaining account of something that happened in Vegas during the WSOP, about your “winning experience,” your first days as a big winner, etc. Again, this is all fiction - have fun with it.

There’s only one requirement for your posts, and the rest is up to you. Each post must contain the following links:

  • “WSOP” linking to: http://www.fulltiltpoker.com/world-poker-series
    Example: <a href="http://www.fulltiltpoker.com/world-poker-series">WSOP</a>
  • “poker” linking to: http://www.fulltiltpoker.com
    Example:  <a href="http://www.fulltiltpoker.com">poker</a>

Once you’ve written your posts, here’s all you need to do:

  • Enter your Full Tilt Username and the URL for one post in the form at the bottom of the screen – you will need to complete this process for each entry
  • Ensure that all information is correct and complete
  • Click Submit

The deadline for entries is Thursday, June 5, 2008, and the winner will be announced on Poker From The Rail on Monday, June 9, 2008.

The winner will be contacted via the email address specified in your Full Tilt Poker account. Links to your entries will be posted on the Battle of the Bloggers page as they are received – check back regularly to keep up with the competition.

If you have any questions, email us at battleofthebloggers@fulltiltpoker.com.

Good luck!
