BioWare Hiring Writers by Contest

AsiNisiMasa writes "GamaSutra reports: BioWare Announces Writing Contest For Industry Jobs. For all of you with some modding experience with the hopes of breaking into the gaming industry, here is your chance. For you less confident modders, there is still hope. From BioWare's official contest page: 'When hiring writers, BioWare looks only at your writing; not the areas, not the special scripting, and not the combat. We evaluate only the characters, the dialogue, the plot, the non-linear structure, and the flow and pace of the story.'"

Game Promotion?

[Damana Mathos]

So do you think BioWare is motivated by trying to recruit someone, or is this mainly an exercise in promoting their games?

Given the popularity of working in the games industry and the coverage this would get, I'd imagine it's more the latter rather than the former.
