From the press release: "Apple Reporter is having our first contest! If you are like myself and my friends, you have not left your MacBook, iMac, MacBook Pro or Mac Mini nekkid. You have given it a new look that is more “you” by applying skinz, paint, tattoos, decals, plastic covers and more. Apple Reporter wants to see your mods!
The inspiration for this contest is that Apple Reporter is in the process of modding its own MacBook 13.3″. Once all the custom designs and skinz are on I’ll post a picture of my newly personalized laptop here. Meanwhile, take a look at one example from Flickr. I don’t know who this person is, but they did a fantastic job modding their Mac:
Contest Rules:
Contest will run from now until May 31st, 2007. I will announce a
winner on June 15th, 2007. All submissions must be made according to
the submission guidelines below. Late submissions will not be accepted.
there will be a FIRST PLACE winner, and SECOND PLACE winner, chosen by
reader votes from the submissions received. I will post the submissions
in a blog post on June 1st, and you will have until June 15th to vote
for your favorite in the comments. Entrants must live in the United
States, the UK, or Canada.
FIRST PLACE PRIZE: One White, 4 Watt i3 Hi-Fi Portable Speakers set for
your iPod, with batteries installed. These speakers are designed to be
portable, not to be fine audio quality - they work quite well, are easy
to use and fold up to go in your purse or backpack, but keep in mind
that they are 4 Watt speakers. First place winner also gets a $10 USD
electronic gift certificate to iTunes.
SECOND PLACE PRIZE: One White, 4 Watt i3 Hi-Fi Portable Speakers set
for your iPod, with batteries installed. These speakers are designed to
be portable, not to be fine audio quality - they work quite well, are
easy to use and fold up to go in your purse or backpack, but keep in
mind that they are 4 Watt speakers.
Submission Guidelines:
Send me an email here with links to photos of your mod on a site like
Flickr or Photobucket. I will link to your photos in the contest vote
post on June 1st, 2007. Be sure to include your name as you would like
it to appear under the photos in the post, and a link to your blog or
web site. If you win, I will contact you at that time to get your
mailing address and/or iTunes user name.
Send photos of mods to current Mac models only: iMac, MacBook, MacBook Pro, Mac Mini (sorry iBook and eMac users!)
Do Not Send photos as attachments! Please host your own photos! Send links to the location of your photos only!
Submissions are limited to the first 50 entries I receive only!
(Don’t worry, we’ll have more contests in the future you can enter if you aren’t in the first 50 submitters)
Photos should include Two Views of your mod, so we get the full idea of what it looks like.
