Apple’s iPhone lineup and devices powered by Google’s Android operating system each have plenty of pros and cons when compared to the other. Those comparisons are quite common, of course, since each platform has such enthusiastic supporters. If you count yourself among the top enthusiasts out there and you think you know more about your mobile phone of choice than anyone else, we’ve got the perfect contest for you.

BGR syndication partner Yahoo Tech is currently running a great little contest on its site that could land you a free trip to one of the best little gatherings of the year: The 2015 South by Southwest festival in Austin, Texas.

Here’s what you’ll do at the show:

“At the 2015 South by Southwest festival in Austin (SXSW), I will host “The Ultimate Fanboy Challenge”: half game show, half science experiment, half serious,” Yahoo Tech’s David Pogue wrote.

He continued, “You, the ultimate Android or iPhone fanboy or fangirl, will be onstage, with your phone projected on the big screen for the audience — and the world — to see. We’ll give you a series of challenges, testing your phone, your OS, and your skill. The winner of each round is the person who completes the task in the least time, the fewest number of steps, or with the most style (or a combination of those criteria). Prepare yourself for a pulse-pounding Olympiad of nerdy superiority!”

Wondering how you can enter for a chance to show off your skills on stage in Austin? Head over to the contest post on Yahoo Tech to find out.
