Hello 9th Listeners!

Here are the rules!

The article should express a unique viewpoint, reaction, or thought about Heroes. You might also consider the things in your own background and interests that the average fan might not have, and how they've affected your experience in watching the show. Keep in mind that this is something all of the other "Sidekicks" will get to hear so you want to show off the best you have.

As far as length the article should be roughly 1,200-1,600 words; about two pages long, as typed into your typical word processor. (1,000 words is the barest minimum!) Think of it as a long email to another fan if that seems less daunting!

You may enter as many articles as you wish, but the article must be submitted by January 31st 11:59ET. Also, as far as rights are concerned, when you submit an article to the contest you are giving us permission to read it on the show, but you retain ownership of the material.

Articles should be emailed to 2008contest@heroescast.com. You should get a confirmation email letting you know that we have received it. If you have any problems please don't hesitate to ask for help in our forums

The winners will be announced in late February, when judging is finished.

Prizes will be added to the page in the next couple of days. There will be a total of three winning articles selected.
