eXpert Competition: Win a copy of FUEL!

jinx OZ 05-29-2009, 7:58 AM
One of the best things about the Australian Xbox community is the willingness of gamers to share their knowledge with others. We here on the Xbox team want to reward gamers for doing just that by hosting monthly eXperts competitions and rewarding the best guides from our community members with the hottest new Xbox 360 games and MS points.


Click here for details and Terms & Conditions.


June 2009


The first prize for the June 2009 eXperts competition is FUEL.
The runner-up prize for the June 2009 eXperts competition is 1600 MS Points.

NOTE: THESE POINTS WILL BE PROVIDED TO THE RUNNERS UP VIA PRIVATE MESSAGE ON JUNE 26. THEY MUST BE REDEEMED BY JUNE 30 OR THEY WILL EXPIRE.

One winner from each competition will win the first prize. 2 runners-up from each competition will win the runners-up prize.


How To Enter


There are 3 separate eXperts competitions. Each community member can enter all 3 competitions per month, with the exception of winners and runners-up from the previous month, who are not eligible to submit an entry to any competition in the current month.


To enter, you must write an article in one of the following 3 categories:

  • Game Reviews (see Terms & Conditions)
  • Walkthroughs (see Terms & Conditions)
  • Tips & Tricks (see Terms & Conditions)

Your submission must be about an Xbox 360 game that you have played, only for a title that has been released within 1 month prior to the beginning of the current competition, with the exception of Game Reviews, which must be for a title released within 2 months prior to the beginning of the current competition. Your article must be based on the full version of the game (Xbox Live Arcade titles included), and you can not submit more than one entry to each competition per month. You may not resubmit an entry from any other competition.


Once you have completed writing your article, you must post a new thread in the ‘Australia General Discussion’ forum before the last Friday of the month. Your post subject must be labeled according to the following format, depending on the competition you are entering.

  • For Game Reviews: “REVIEW – title of game reviewed”
  • For Walkthroughs: “WALKTHROUGH – title of game covered (section covered)”
  • For Tips & Tricks: “TIPS & TRICKS – title of game covered”

After posting your article, you must respond to this post with the competition you are entering and a link to your submission thread.


Please make sure you read all our terms and conditions before entering any of these eXperts competitions. Entrants found to be plagiarizing content will be banned permanently from the Xbox forums. Entries that do not conform to the full competition guidelines outlined in the terms & conditions (such as incorrectly labeling your entry, not giving your review a rating, exceeding or not meeting length requirements, etc.) will be disqualified.


If you suspect an entry of being plagiarized, please send a Private Message to Xtramalt with a summary of your concern and a link to the original source of the text. We have to keep each other honest!


Winners or runners-up from the previous month are not eligible to submit an entry for consideration for any of the 3 competitions in the current month. This restriction only applies to the month following the win or placement. For example, a winner or runner-up in January is not eligible to enter any of the eXperts competitions in February, but may submit an entry for consideration in March.


Xbox Live Silver members with 0 gamerscore are not eligible for entry into any of these competitions. If you are an Xbox Live Silver member playing offline only and your online gamercard reflects a 0 gamerscore, please sign in to Xbox Live to allow the system to update your gamerscore. This is to prevent entrants from creating "dummy" accounts to submit multiple entries.


Good luck!

Should I post my review in the New Zealand forum or in the Australian forum like the terms and conditions say?

Just post it in the New Zealand one if you want, though more people will probably comment on it in the Aussie forum as it gets more passing traffic. Either way, it'll still qualify as an eligible entry.

Will be good to have another Kiwi entry. Yes [Y]

C'mon people, there's still plenty of prizes up for grabs!! No entries for Walkthroughs mean it's wide open, plus remember there's 3 prizes for each category, so if you don't win the game prize(s) you still might get a 1,600 MSpoint card. A little effort goes a long way...

Thanks Linkwick.

Low turnout this month, must be something to do with the post-E3 excitement.

Peace, Love and Games
