NEWS Wish you had the power wielded by silicon.com editors to influence what our columnists write about?
This Christmas season you can - by entering our first-ever 'column idea' competition for long-time columnist Peter Cochrane.
How does it work?
You submit ideas for Peter Cochrane's Uncommon Sense column via email to editorial@silicon.com before 14 December 2004.
Send as many ideas as you want.
As you can see by reading earlier columns, Peter is an expert in a wide range of IT and business issues as well as a frequent predictor of future trends.
Keep your suggestions within the realm of possibility - it's unlikely he's going to write about football, after all - but do be creative and think out of the box, as Peter so often does.
The reader with the most compelling column idea (as judged by Peter and the silicon.com editorial staff) wins two prizes. First, a column by Peter on that topic to be published on silicon.com - with full acknowledgement and kudos given to the winner for supplying the idea. And second, a copy of Peter's latest book Uncommon Sense: Out Of The Box Thinking For An In The Box World published by Wiley.
The four runners-up will also get a copy of the book.
Even if you don't win, consider putting the book on your Christmas wish list or buying it as a gift for someone else. It's based on columns originally published on silicon.com and contains lots of uncanny advice for today's IT and business worlds.
The book is available on Amazon.co.uk and from other retailers.
But wouldn't you rather win a copy?
