Gaming is one of those unique things in this world that connect us all together in one way or another.
No matter who you are or where you are, if you come across a new game that you enjoyed, find an element, be it a narrative thread, a fan theory, a hidden area, or just a cool well-written character that piques your interest and stimulates your imagination. Maybe you performed a feat of exceptional skill in single or multiplayer, or you finally crack that puzzle or error or technical issue in a game that you had been banging your head against the wall. No matter what it is, gamers naturally get the urge to share this stuff with fellow gamers and the gaming community.
Now, you have a chance to share your experiences with an even broader audience and you get to be part of a cool contest with a cash prize just by doing so.
