EA will soon be hosting a community event at its development studio in Vancouver, Canada. The event will last two days and allow FIFA's top community members the chance to get a good hands-on with the game and feed back their thoughts directly to the team, both on FIFA 09 and the in-development... well, let's just say: A forthcoming game.

Not only is this a great chance to involve yourself directly in the development of the game, it'll also be a chance to hang out with the guys that make it a reality within the boundaries of arguably the most impressive games studio on the planet.

An all-expenses-paid trip, we have one space left on the plane, and we want to pick one FIFA aficionado from the community to fill that slot.

All we want from you are the reasons you think you should be the one to attend. I and a small team at EA will select a member from the 'applications' in THIS FORUM THREAD on Monday 18 May.

So get over to the forums and let us know. Those forums are the only place we'll look to find our community guy for the trip.

Before you apply, can you go?
You must satisfy the following criteria in order to attend the community day:

- You must be available between the dates of 26 May and 29 May!

- You must be at least 18 years of age.

- You must possess a valid passport.

- You will need to arrange your own transport to and from the nearest suitable airport.

- You must be a resident of the USA, Canada, or the UK.
