The Engadget Halloween Costume Contest
posted Oct 24th 2005 2:40PM
A handful of foolios totally showed all of us up last year with their fancy iPod costumes, so this Halloween we're
expecting Team Engadget to represent in our First Annual Engadget Halloween Costume Contest. We're not looking for the
scariest costume, we're looking for some super gadgety, teched-out costumes — we want to see people dressed up like
Treos, laptops, PSPs, whatever.
Here are the prizes:
-
First place: A new 30GB iPod (with video)
-
Second place: An unlocked Motorola RAZR V3
-
Three runners-up will each win one of three Tokyo Flash watches
You'll get points for creativity, complexity, and, to a certain extent, obscurity (translation: we don't want to see
three dozen iPod nano costumes, though we wouldn't mind seeing a really amazing iPod nano costume).
Official details:
-
You have until Tuesday, November 1st, 11:59pm EST to submit your entry
-
Send all entries to us at engadget@gmail.com
-
The contest is open to anyone anywhere
-
You have to be able to prove that it's your handiwork
-
You can enter multiple times, but you can only win a maximum of one prize
Something kinda like this?

(fully functional iPod costume)
That's not me btw.. just in case..
I think putting it on a box type of costume would've looked way better though.
why is the second and third prize better than the first?
OMFG I just got the best idea for a costume EVER.
You guys wait until Tuesday. *grins*
pretty cool costume, now I wish I could actually build a box into huge psp in 8 days.
The Nano costumes are bad because they scratch too easily...
there should be a special jury prize for whoever has the guts to show up at a halloween party in a gizmondo costume
You wouldn't want to see me in a Gizmondo costume.

That was mine last year. I wont best costume at work.
i am gonna submit my pic soon, I gutted the monitor to my old P166 elonex : god knows why cos it still works and took an axe to the bottom. Stuck a keyboard round my neck and sellotaped a mousemat and mouse to my sleeve. I got into several photoshoots on the way to a halloween party last weekend, thats the last time I take public transport dressed as a PC!!!
This is not my idea but here is a pretty cool costume where a person is dressed up as a BlackBerry.

great
I didnt think of it until today, but if I had thought of it earlier I would have gone as Jonathan Ive. Gray t-shirt, black jeans, boots, short hair and stubble, carrying around my ibook shipping box and ipod.
In honor of the Microsoft (MSDN) Channel 9 Guy, this year I created my own 9 Guy costume and even a little strip introducing it over at: http://channel9.msdn.com/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=132034
Why shouldent people dress up as a gizmondo?
Guys... iPod cotumes were cool the first 300 times but now its just plain old and uncreative. So do something more clever than an iPod. (No, not a Rio you smart-asses)
none
when will the winner be announced?
To bad that I'm not skinny enough to dress up like a nano... guess I'll go as OEM PMP again, at least I'll have a reason to black out early then.
I didn't think of it until after halloween but how cool would a costume of a dolphin with a dart gun on its head be?
lol Brendan, your costume is the best :)
