Contest 2: iPod As Art. We’re throwing open the floodgates for our second contest and giving you a broad creative canvas: we want to see you portray the iPod As Art. Though your submission must be an image (minimum 1600 pixels wide or tall) with the iPod as a iconic central element, you can choose what appears in that image: a drawing, 3-D rendering, painting, wood sculpture, or anything—just submit a photograph or scanned image of it.

Be creative, but think broadly: feature one iPod, photograph iPods together, or show how the iPod interacts with the worlds of design, art, or technology. You have the freedom to create the image that you think best shows off an iPod as art; the only limitations are that no use of others’ images or previous contest entries is permitted, text should not be overlapped on top of the image, and you must submit your name, e-mail address, and location (city/state/country) with your image in order to qualify.
