The Gearwire.com Most Valuable Poster Contest

The $5000 Prize Giveaway for Gearheads Who Give Back. Sponsored by SONiVOX and IK Multimedia

Do you get helpful advice from this forum? Would you like to see a deserving forum user recognized and rewarded? What about YOUR contributions to this forum? Gearwire thinks you deserve something more than a pat on the back.

The British Pipesmokers' Council gave out 39 Pipe Smoker of the Year awards before it finally went bust three years ago. If 39 blokes from Britain can get fancy awards just for sitting around smoking pipes all day, you, a regular forum poster, deserve a shot at recognition for providing gear-related content for the benefit of your fellow gearheads. Gearwire.com and our sponsors SONiVOX and IK Multimedia want to give out props where props are due, and $5,000 worth of gear besides.

Well, maybe you personally don't deserve it. Maybe most of your posts were wasted speculating on Paris Hilton’s prison nicknames, or worse, trolling those poor, miserable souls in the political forum.

But all the more reason for you to do a good deed and nominate the best forum contributors in one of 11 categories. If you don't nominate yourself, You still have a shot at some serious prize winning. Just by nominating someone, you'll be entered to win free gear in the Gearwire.com Most Valuable Poster Contest.

One more time, just so we're clear: yes, you can nominate yourself. Go ahead. Just CLICK HERE

$5,000 total in gear will be awarded, sponsored in part by SONiVOXmi.com and IKMultimedia.com, - which will make for much cooler prizes than whatever those Pipe Smokers of the Year got.

Don't your MVPs deserve some recognition for all that gearhead advice they shared for free? CLICK HERE .

Nominate your candidates today and be entered to win some wicked cool gear from Gearwire.com. Having a good email address for your nominees helps us out a lot but isn't required. Please be sure to indicate what forum you are nominating your MVP for, and any other relevant info that can help us get in touch with your nominee!
