Welcome to the first Everlast Power Equipment welding project contest.

*The contest:*

We'd like for you to post up pictures of your latest fabrication, conversion or upgrade project that is welding related from the last year. Please provide at least 3 photos of your project with some details regarding the project. If you have a project you'll have done by September 15th, get it finished and post it.

*The rules:*

Whether or not you used an Everlast welder or plasma cutter for your project will *NOT* affect the judging, though full participation by our Everlast customers is strongly encouraged. Please do not post simple repair projects or quick-fix projects as these will not be judged. We're looking for a little blood, sweat and tears.

*The criteria:*

We are looking for creativeness, ingenuity and popular appeal. Welding skills will be critiqued, of course, but will not be the major determining factor. Positive comments by all are welcome regarding the projects of the participants and as said, popular appeal will be part of what we use to select the winning projects. Please, no flaming another person's hard work, whether you think you could have done better or not.

*The prize:*

The first place winner will receive a PowerI-MIG 200. Second prize will be a SuperCut50 plasma cutter and third place will win a pre-release version of a Digital Everlast PowerVision auto-darkening welding helmet. All prices can be checked out at http://www.everlastwelders.com .

*The judging:*

The Everlast competition will close on September 16, 2009 12:00 am. The 3 best projects will be selected by the Everlast judging panel shortly
after the close of the competition. Results will be announced and the winners will be asked to P.M. their shipping information. We welcome the winners to comment on their prize as well.

The competition will take place here on the Everlast forum however you are welcome to post your projects on Pirate4x4.com, Weldingweb.com, anywhere you like and have an account. Just be sure to post a link to it here so we can judge your entry.

Jump in for some fun. It's open to everyone.
