Another week another challenge! This time we are involved in and sponsoring a competition that should be any inventor's dream. That's right, you can participate with any creation in any format you like and win a whole list of goodies.
There is no catch. The only thing that you should do is to come up with something original, brilliant, ingenious, awesomely good looking, basically anything that would inspire anyone to take up engineering/designing and create the fellow engineers one huge WOW moment.
The rules are very simple - there are almost no rules besides keeping in mind the four main criteria (longer explanation here) which the participating models will be judged by:
- creativity
- quality
- sauciness
- manufacturability
How to enter?
Check the participation guidelines described on SolidSmack and come back to GrabCAD to submit your 3D model in your preferred format (universal CAD format, such as STEP or IGES is advised to be included in the zip file) by 11:59pm MDT Sept 9, 2011. Add the tag #awesomesauce to your model, too - easier to follow all the entries for everyone.
Prizes, prizes everywhere
There are 7 prize packages in total, GrabCAD punching it up and adding an extra $500 to the winner's pot. Runner ups' will enjoy some free software licenses, magazine subscriptions, T-shirts and more. All in all, there is absolutely no excuse to just sit and observe this fun competition - get your sketchpads out, processors fuming and cook up some Awesome Sauce! The winners will be announced on Monday, September 12th, 2011.
