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.

Send me an email to leslie.poston at 451press dot com 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 me via email at leslie.poston at 451press dot com with Mod Your Mac Contest in the subject line.

NOTE: Due to popular demand, all Mac models are now being accepted.

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.

There have been many people emailing me to ask questions about the contest, and no official entries yet, so go ahead, take the plunge and enter before May 31st by emailing me here: leslie dot poston at 451press dot com. You can find the submission guidelines and prize descriptions at this link.

Notes for the question askers:

1) Yes, I did open up the contest to all Mac models. You can thank the folks at MacMods for that one.

2) The mods are mods in appearance only. I think modding your Mac to increase its functionality is totally fantastic, but this one is for case mods we can see.

3) The deadline for entry is May 31, 2007

4) The contest will be decided by vote. I'll post pics here, and readers will vote on their favorite.

5) Yes, the computer must be working. (a dead computer turned into a fish tank is neat, but not the mod we are looking for).

I hope that answered everyone's questions! Good luck! And get those entries in!
