By Jeremy Horwitz | 10.04.05

ALL CONTESTS ARE NOW CLOSED FOR JUDGING.

imageOur past iPod design contests have produced some incredible ideas and pieces of art - because of iLounge readers, this was the first place to show off a conceptual “iPod nano,” and there have been hundreds of cool “future iPod” concepts submitted to our galleries. This time, we wanted to try something a little different. Use your creativity and other skills to design the “ultimate iPod accessory.” We will pick three total winners, one from each of these categories, with the Grand Prize winner taking home the “Ultimate iPod Accessory Pack” from Oregon Scientific and Belkin.

Best Creative Entry: Come up with a smart iPod add-on that is original and worthwhile.

Best Realistic/Practical Entry: Create an iPod add-on that looks really sharp and would be very likely to be produced.

Best Funny Entry: Create an iPod add-on that makes people laugh. Use good taste.

Restrictions: Your artwork must be original, and cannot be copied from another source. You may use computer-assisted art tools, Photoshop, hand drawings, or whatever other method you choose to create a 2-D image in JPEG format for submission to us, but the artwork you submit must be original.

How to Enter: Submit your design in The Ultimate iPod Accessory album.

Check out the newest entries. Can you do better?

Prizes:

Our favorite Overall Entry will receive one iBall by Oregon Scientific (retail value approx. $300) PLUS The Ultimate iPod Accessory Bundle by Belkin (retail value approx. $555):

  • TuneStage Bluetooth Audio Kit
  • TunePower External Battery Pack
  • TuneDok Auto Mount
  • TuneCast II FM Transmitter
  • Auto Kit Charger with Audio-Out
  • Digital Camera Link

    The other two winners will each receive one iBall by Oregon Scientific (retail value approx. $300).

    In honor of Apple’s release of black- and white-bodied iPod nanos, iLounge is holding a black-and-white photo contest. We will give away two iPod nanos to the submitters of the top two photos we select. Each winner may select the color of the nano he or she wins.

    The rules for this contest are very simple: your photograph must be original, must include or in some smart way reference an iPod, and must be in black and white. You may choose to use people, other objects, and/or a background, but you may not digitally edit the photo in any way other than to crop and/or adjust its brightness and contrast.

  • Super Important: Winners MUST submit full-sized images of 1600x1200 or greater size immediately on request of iLounge.

    How to Enter: Submit your photo to the iPod Black & White Photo album.

    Check out the newest entries. Can you do better?

    Prizes:

    One iPod nano (2GB black or white) (retail value $200) per winner.

    This has got me thinking smile

    Does “color correction” allow for color -> B/W conversion?

    By paul on 10.04.05 at 12:48 PM

    By joshua on 10.04.05 at 02:35 PM

    Do you have to be 18 or older for the first contest?

    By ed on 10.04.05 at 06:54 PM

    what can you do if you don’t own an ipod… ???

    By mc on 10.04.05 at 11:02 PM

    The photos become the property of iLounge, does this mean the idea in the photos also becomes the property of iLounge?

    By Devin on 10.05.05 at 11:26 AM

    Do contestants have to reside in the U.S. or will prizes be shipped to contestants from other countries too if someone outside the U.S. should win?

    By Polar on 10.06.05 at 10:01 AM

    Can we mention or put pictures like grado headphones from other companies into our entry?

    By cjhobbies00 on 10.18.05 at 12:41 PM

    I submitted my entry but I think I accidentally used the wrong “description” for my photo. (My boyfriend was rushing me because he was hungry - LOL) Are we allowed to update our description?  :[

    By eggie weggie on 10.20.05 at 08:40 AM

    What are these photo’s judged on? Photographic merit?

    By DeaPeaJay on 10.20.05 at 02:44 PM

    By gy on 10.21.05 at 05:49 PM

    can you rate your own photos?  cause i rate mine a 5 : )

    By cjhobbies00 on 10.22.05 at 12:44 PM

    AAAAAAA I cannot get my pic to upload! PLEASE SOMEONE HELP! I just spent a lot of time taking these pics! Thanks!

    By johnlovescurry on 10.23.05 at 06:11 PM

    How long does it take for your photos to show up?  I submitted yesterday and still nothing.

    By Melinda on 10.25.05 at 05:53 AM

    i want to know more

    By edison on 10.27.05 at 07:44 AM

    Yeah, I’m wondering too.  I read something about the pics have to be approved by the Admin before they show up in the gallery.  I uploaded mine earlier today and it hasn’t turned up in the gallery yet either.  The upload went successfully, and I sent the e-mail with my full name and the name of the file I uploaded. Guess we’ll just have to wait and see.

    By rockstar on 10.27.05 at 12:47 PM

    when will winners be announced..and will the user votes or will judges decide? my iWar Paint is in the top 15 for votes (yay!)

    By adamti91 on 10.28.05 at 02:29 PM

    "Winners will be announced and published in the iLounge Holiday Buyers’ Guide on November 1, 2005.”

    Simply ignore the votes, like the ilounge judges do smile
