Telstra recently put out a call to find Australia's next video game reviewer, offering $25,000 for the opportunity. The interest was massive, but as always, there can only be one winner.

Telstra's nominated reviewer, and the recipient of $25,000 over the next few months, is Joshua Appadoo. Appadoo isn't someone you would have heard of in the gaming space before: his YouTube channel has 16 subscribers at the time of writing, and his Twitch and Twitter accounts have similarly low followings.

A photographer and video editor in his spare time, Appadoo stood out to Telstra because of his technical ability and experience with content creation generally. "What stood out most for us with Joshua though is how he’s thought about looking at games through the lens of different themes – something you can expect to see from him as Telstra’s Game Reviewer," Nathan Gumley, Telstra's connected home principal, said.
