Gizmodo Launches iPad Contest Sponsored by Adafruit Industries and Epilog Laser
Winners receive one-of-a-kind laser engraved iPad

Rules:

• First, take a look at what laser etching looks like - this will inspire you! These are on Amazon Kindles, pretty much the same thing as the back of the iPads. Also, search around for "laser etched laptops" - that will give you some ideas as well.

• Your work area is about 9.5" x 7.47" - we'll need to modify your art since we can't measure now, but just work in vector and we'll figure it out.
• The actual artwork should be vector-based and black and white - EPS or AI format and make sure al fonts are converted to curves. Adafruit will work with the winner to make sure the engraving looks great.
• If you don't own the artwork or image, don't submit it. Gizmodo and Adafruit can't really etch some else's work - be original. We are not responsible for checking all the art to make sure you own it, if someone freaks it's all on you.
• You can only enter once, so do a good job.
• Contest is open to everyone in the 50 states - 18 and older.
• Finalists will be selected by the Gizmodo staff, Adafruit and Epilog; after the top 10 are selected, a vote will be held for readers to choose their favorite. Top 2 win and if there's any gaming of the voting systems(s), Gizmodo will pick the winners - all decisions are final.
• Two winners will each receive one Apple iPad (Wi-Fi) laser etched by Adafruit Industries. Approximate retail value is $499.00+$100 laser etching fee.
• If you are a winner, you will be notified by email. Winners must respond within three days of the end of the contest. If you do not respond within that period, another winner will be chosen.
• Design entries can be submitted until midnight PDT, APril 3, 2010.
