Sony is launching a competition to find two online correspondents to report on breaking news about Spider-Man 3 in the run-up to the May 4 release.

Two fans of the franchise - one male and one female - will be charged with creating videos presenting news, information and special promotions.

Aspiring Spider-Man 3 webcasters can find everything they need to enter the contest at spiderman.sonypictures.com /faceofthefan .

The contest is open to any US resident who is at least 18 years old unless otherwise indicated in the official rules. Entries must be submitted by Feb 23.
