Calling All Modders - ASUS Wants YOU!

By Colin M. Ormsby

It's always nice to be in a situation when the hard work and creativity of being a modder gets noticed and/or rewarded. ASUS has announced a competition which is absolutely 100% aimed at you lot - modders! ASUS wants people to enter mods, I assume current and past, into a competition where your creation will be on display at the 2012 Work Maker Faire in New York.

The contest opened on 23rd July and is open until 22nd August so while you may have missed a couple of weeks of eligibility, there are still a couple to go so have a scoot on over to the ASUS competition page at http://promos.asus.com/US/Makerfaire2012/ and take a look.

The prize on offer is Hotel & Entry into the World Maker Faire 2012. Even if you aren't in a position to enter, it's worth a couple of minutes just to look over (and vote for) the entries currently submitted. At the time of writing, there only appeared to be 10 entries so if you have something you want to add, it's definitely worth a shot!

Even though the competition has officially been open since 23rd July, the rules are a little thin on the ground - the official rules page simply says "Rules to come" but we can tell you that you need to be residing either in the US or Canada, and be 18 years or older.

Now, if only I could get ModCron finished.... :D

Cool. I'll check it out.

What kind of mods would you consider entering into the ASUS competition, and do you think such contests are effective in recognizing and rewarding modders' hard work?
