Want to design the next Enterprise for Star Trek Online?

[BlueBard]

There is a contest sponsored by Cryptic, Atari, and Intel for the best original design for a new Enterprise which could wind up being featured in the Star Trek Online game.

(Not for a movie or TV show, sorry...)

Since we have some amazing artists among us, I thought I'd post a link to the contest web page.

Just in case, you know, you'd like to be famous as the person who designed the next Enterprise...

And here's a description of the prizes available:

Design The Next Enterprise
Seriously. We're working with our friends at CBS and Intel to turn the design of the next Enterprise over to you, Star Trek's most dedicated fans. Just visit our special Design Hangar and submit your version of the universe's most iconic spaceship. We'll convert the best design into a ship in Star Trek Online, but that's not where it stops.
Here are the prizes available:
Grand Prize: Custom, STO-painted Alienware M11x laptop; STO Collector's Edition; STO Lifetime Membership; and a 3-D model of the winning design.
Second Prize: Alienware laptop (no custom paint job), STO Collector's Edition and an STO Lifetime Membership.
Third Prize: STO Collector's Edition, STO Lifetime Membership and an Intel Core i7-875k processor.
Fourth Prize: STO Collector's Edition and an STO Lifetime Membership.
Twenty-one Honorable Mentions: Standard-edition copy of STO and a Star Trek Online poster.

The caveat is that the contest is only open to US Residents, sorry.
