Mark Rosewater announced in his article "Making Magic" Monday that Wizards of the Coast would be returning "The Great Designer Search." The contest, which is open to the public, is an opportunity for any member of the gaming community to make an attempt to join the Wizards staff as a member of R&D. Explaining the new contest in his article Rosewater said:

"Anyone who was interested (and fit the criteria—I'll talk about this in a second) could apply. A series of essays and tests narrowed the field from over one thousand applicants down to a final fifteen. From there we had five challenges that tested the applicants' Magic design skills. Each challenge was judged by a series of judges, including myself, and at the end I would eliminate one or more of the applicants. At the end of five challenges we were down to three candidates, all of whom were flown out to the Wizards of the Coast offices in lovely Renton, Washington for a series of interviews and one final test."

The contest is scheduled to start on September 29.
