In case you missed my first post, Instructables‘ current challenge has, by far, the coolest prize I’ve seen for a contest EVER.

Grand Prize: Epilog Zing CO2 Laser Cutting Machine valued at $7995
First Prize: $100 Gift Certificate to Ponoko laser cutting service

On top of that, the contest parameters are also amazing:

To encourage the making of amazing things, we’re hosting the Epilog Challenge ’09. Make something awesome with a green twist and win a Epilog laser cutter! The form of awesomeness is entirely up to you: your project can be on any subject, using any components, and in any field. Just use your skills to make something incredible, share it on Instructables, and you can win one of the most truly incredible and versatile tools available: a Zing Laser from Epilog!

Make something awesome and win a laser? I’m in!
