Reporter Search 08 Tuesday, April 08, 2008 9:13 PM

This afternoon I received the below press release in my inbox for Fashion magazine's Reporter Search 08, a contest targeted at Canadian fashion bloggers. I'm not sure who else knows about this contest, but I thought it would be an interesting opportunity for some of you. Good luck to those who enter!

Calling all fashionistas! FASHION Magazine is looking to add 10 savvy fashion writers to its team of regional reporters. The call for submissions for Reporter Search 2008 begins today and runs until June 1.

A panel of FASHION Magazine editors will select 20 semi-finalists; however, the ultimate decision will rest with the public. From July 8 to August 8, Canadians will have the chance to vote for their favourite Reporter Search candidate at fashionmagazine.com. During this public voting phase, photo galleries, video clips, bios and blog entries will be posted for each finalist.

The top 10 finalists will become key players on fashionmagazine.com for one year and hold the bragging rights of working for Canada's best read fashion magazine (source: PMB 2008). The candidate who generates the most public votes will win a trip to New York City , provided courtesy of NYC & Co.

For more information, click on the above Reporter Search header which I nicked off their website. I hate posting an entry without an image.

Why aren't you entering?? I'm seriously considering it.

I second that bit about you entering, I would probably have tried, if I was older and if I wasn't a bit scared by the resposibility of keeping up a regular schedule of posts.

Well, among other reasons I don't like writing that much. Hence, the lack of wordy entries on here! But thanks for the vote of confidence.

K: I was thinking of you when I posted this. You should enter! If you make it to the voting round, you have my vote :)

Jill: since this is a reporter search for 2008, maybe they'll have one each year and then you'll get another chance when you're older. If the task of regular posting doesn't still daunt you then :) apparently you only have to submit a minimum of two posts a month.

Hello,
I would love to have a shot at this. I know that the contest is now closed. But is there any chance you would know who I can send an email to with my details?

Thank you kindly!

Hi, I'm really sorry, but I have no clue. I took a look at the website and couldn't find an email address.
