Googling for Indian Writers: Google Announces Creative Writing Content

Google India today announced an on-the-spot writing competition called Google Webmasters Challenge that's open to all Indians who are 18+ and can write.

Unlike the popular Code Jam contest, the webmasters challenge is aimed at finding good writers and not software coders but the contest name does suggest that it's about finding technical writers.

The Creative Writing Competition begins at 11 AM IST on 30-Sep-06 and ends at 2 PM on 30-Sep-06 and shall be conducted simultaneously at Mumbai, Hyderabad, Delhi, Bangalore, Chennai, Kolkata, Cochin, Pune, Indore and Ahmedabad.

The winners get an opportunity to join the Google India team and the runners-up will receive cool awards according to the Google website.

The contest is open only to the first 300 participants and the deadline for entries is 25th September 2006.
