Do you think you have what it takes to be a great reporter? We’re pretty sure that many of you may be able to hold your own when it comes to talking about HTC phones or other gadgets, but HTC’s newest competition is looking for something a little different. HTC is teaming up for Sports Illustrated in an effort to find the right person to become the exclusive HTC correspondent to cover the 2011 SI Swimsuit photo shoot.

No, this is not a joke. Whoever wins the competition will be given an HTC phone to capture pictures and video of the annual SI Swimsuit photo shoot at an undisclosed location and will be charged to share their unique perspective of the event with SI fans on www.si.com/behindthetanlines.

Sports Illustrated and HTC are looking for someone who can handle their own in front and behind the camera when things get hot. All you have to do is sign up and let them know why you would be the right person for the job. Keep in mind, if you don’t land the gig, HTC and SI are offering a few consolation prizes as well. Not sure about you, but I have my bags packed and ready to go.
