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.

Heyyyyy this is Three Dog coming to you from Galaxy News Radio...
How are all ya folks handling post apocolyptia today? Listen up people, I know what it's like to out there in wasteland. All alone, nobody special to spend time with, it's hard on a person. Then you come into one of those big cities like Megaton and what's the first thing you do with all your hard earned caps? Well, what happens in Megaton stays in Megaton.
On another note, just got some news about our friend Luciel from vault 101. Seems he deep-sixed the competition and is puttin' up "the good fight" on the behalf of all you fine inhabitants of the Capital Wasteland. Rumor has it he was recently seen puttin' down some Enclave scum with his latest weapon, a fully customized B-Move Slim II M-ATX low profile case.
He scored some materials from Flak 'N Shrapnel's over in Rivet City and went to work. While amped on Nuka-Cola and stimpacks he chopped that baby up and kissed it with a groovy paintjob worthy of the wasteland. Word is he's also snagged the Pip-Boy from some bandit and mounted it on the side making his new bombastic think box even sexier!
Three Dog approves my Paladin friend, three Dog approves. That's all for now people of Capital Wasteland, coming live from the heart and soul post apocalypse straight to your neck of the woods. Bow-wow-wow!!!!!!!
THANKS FOR LISTENING CCHHHIILLLLDREN!!!!
