- Links to your 3 favorite posts on GP.
- Links to a 2 of your favorite sites and a few words explaining why.
- Something that’ll surprise us. We like surprises. No bags of flaming shit, please.

Please send everything via email. If you’ve got video/photo samples, please provide links for those as well. Once we’ve receive your application and are thoroughly stunned by your work (in a good way), we’ll contact you and be in touch with details, next steps, and perks. Happy hunting.
