I wanted to start September off with another contest. This time it’s even easier to join in the fun and you have the chance to win this shiny new SanDisk 4GB Cruzer Micro USB 2.0 Flash Drive. You can store lots o’ junk on this thing.

4gb-flash-drive.jpgTo enter this contest, just reply to this post about something you like. I like contests and Fall. I’ll draw a name next Monday and that person will have 4 gigs to store photos of their prize winning poodle. I’ll accept only one comment from each person, but if you do a blog post with a link back to this post, I’ll count that as a second entry!

SolidWorks Design Contest

SolidWorks has started their Design contest for this year and I’ve been impressed with the entries in the past. Some of the previous contestants entered photorealistic models of yachts, bike frames and concept vehicles as well as some animations.

The prizes range from new computer systems to license upgrades and more.

Create the Future Design Contest

NASA Tech Briefs has started up their design contest for products that could change the future.

Here also are some tips on how you can create a winning entry.
