The Cybersecurity Writing Contest Sponsored by Twingate

HackerNoon humans, this is a contest that you can win by writing a story about hacking!  I don't know about you, but to me it feels like a romantic cosmic pairing. Yeah it does!

You have the opportunity to win from a $1000 monthly prize pool when you write about any and all #cybersecurity things.

You can share your expertise, personal stories, discuss trends and even explore philosophical questions related to cybersecurity.

“Be kind, aim for my heart.” As it were.

This contest will go on for six months, from the 1st of June 2022 to the 30th of November 2022, with a $1000 pool shared by 4 winners each month - the top 3 stories and the most read story.  At the end of the contest, 24 winners would have emerged.
