Greener Gadgets Conference: win tickets or enter your own gadget design to compete

Two new bits fresh from the Greener Gadgets Conference going down in New York next week! First up, enter right here to win one of five tickets to the conference! The rules are after the break -- you know the score, we only ask that you don't enter unless you absolutely know you can attend the conference on February 1st, (which we'll confirm before awarding the prizes).

The second bit will be a lot more interesting for the designers in the crowd. I'll be one of the judges of the Greener Gadgets design competition at the conference, which will award the best green electronics design concepts with $4,500 in cash prizes. The deadline for that is Sunday, January 27th, and no, you can't enter through Engadget, so be sure to check out the full rules and guidelines over at Core 77.

Good luck!

The rules on winning tickets (yeah, there are always rules):

• Leave a comment below. Let us know that you'll be able to make it, otherwise we might give the ticket to someone else!
  
• You may only enter this specific giveaway once. If you enter this giveaway more than once you'll be automatically disqualified, etc. (Yes, we have robots that thoroughly check to ensure fairness.) In other words, be careful when commenting and if you submit more than once, only activate one comment, ok?
• ONLY enter if you can make it to the conference. It's all day February 1st in New York.
• If you enter more than once, only activate one comment. This is pretty self explanatory.
  
• Contest is open to anyone in the 50 States, 18 or older! Sorry, we don't make this rule, be mad at our lawyers or US contest laws if you have to be mad at something.
• Winners will be chosen randomly. Five winners will be selected to receive a ticket ($350 value).
  
• Entries can be submitted until Sunday, January 27th, 11:59PM ET. After that we're all done. Good luck!
• Full rules can be found here.

[Flashpoint @ Jan 23rd 2008 12:58PM]

I'll never understand how they can profess to make "Green gadgets" when all the manufacturing processes revolve around peetroleum use and the devices themselves - regardless the absense of mercury and arsenic - are plastics which cannot be recycled.

[CW @ Jan 24th 2008 8:59AM]

GreenER Gadgets. As in closer to green.

[Bill M @ Jan 23rd 2008 6:30PM]

First, I'm available and can make the trip. I'd love to roam a NYC convention hall with my Red Sox World Series Champions gear.

Regarding Flashpoint's comment: As the electronics industry is so hostile to our planet, it stands to reason that they have much to gain by moving toward a sustainable product cycle.

This is reflected in the conference's title, Greener Gadgets. The industry doesn't have to go completely "Green" to realize a benefit.

[Joey DiFranco @ Jan 23rd 2008 6:34PM]

Green filmmaker from Chicago can attend! Loved Chicago's GreenFest 2007, would love to take part in this Green Tech experience in NYC!

[Jason Bauman @ Jan 23rd 2008 7:04PM]

I can definitely attend. I live on Long Island, only 30 minutes from New York City. I was interested in attending until I saw the hefty price tag. Pictures and reviews guaranteed if chosen.

[Bastian @ Jan 23rd 2008 7:41PM]

I'd be there

[Boris Mindzak @ Jan 23rd 2008 8:30PM]

I run a small business that could really benefit from attending this conference- that saved $350 will go right into the new MacPro fund...
