Case Mod Competition 2011 - Winners Announced

Overclock.net Case Mod 2011 Competition Closed - Winners Announced!

We are pleased to present the 2011 edition of the Overclock.net Case Mod Competition. I personally am sorry for the delays in getting the competition finalized, but many steps in voting and judging were left unchecked and unfinished due to the passing of one of our most dedicated members, and judges. Like wise, both of our Case Mod editors had to retire to pursue matters in their personal life.

As it is every year, we have three classes of modders for this competition; Professional, Intermediate, and Amateur. With a 1st, 2nd, and 3rd prize for each class. In addition, we will be awarding prizes in several special categories based on criteria such as "Most Unique", "Back from the Grave", etc.

With that out of the way, please join me in congratulating the winners in their respective categories, and special awards!

Yes, now that everything is straitened out on this end, it'll just be a matter of finding judges and doing a Copy-Pasta of last year. Expect an announcements towards the end of the month with contestants being able to enter all April & May.

I'll figure out exact days and do more planning this week.

This time, I'll be here to see things all the way through, so I won't have to worry about last second judging, tallying votes from members who couldn't vote, and tracking down all the information.

Last year was a hiccup in the normal schedule but this year should be A-OK.
