Overview
Consider the USB port! It transfers vital information, powers up your peripherals, and generally keeps you connected. Your USB ports do so much for you, it's time to give them the attention they deserve; that's why we're having a USB Contest!
The rule is simple: publish a new Instructable that involves a USB port. Anything goes, so long as it involves USB! Get creative, and let your imagination run wild. If there is a USB port in there somewhere it can be entered.
Just show us how you made something awesome, and win a custom laser-etched Leatherman Juice as well as our Instructables Prize Pack that includes one year of Pro membership, a Robot t-shirt, and more!
So get to it! The contest is wide open. We can't wait to see what you'll make.
Multiples entries are accepted, but each entrant can only win one prize
International entries are accepted

Create a new Instructable that fits the guidelines outlined in the contest description above. To be eligible, Instructables must be published between Jun 2, 2010 and Jul 4, 2010 (11:59pm PT).
Upon publishing your Instructable you'll see checkboxes for open contests. Select USB Contest. If you have entries currently eligible for entry, it will also show up by clicking "Enter this Contest" on the right side of this page.
Entries are accepted by Instructables staff within one business day Monday - Friday. What matters is the submission time, not acceptance time.
A panel of judges made up of Instructables staff and respected members of the community rate the finalists. The averages of the ratings determine the winners.
When the winners are decided they will be notified and announced here on the contest page.
