Design Your Own HIS 5870 Video Card Contest

Are You Feeling Lucky?

Today, I am very pleased to announce a contest unlike any that we have ever done before. Legit Reviews has teamed up with AMD and HIS for something that will blow you away.

We
are asking our readers to come up with your own unique and original
heat sink artwork for an upcoming HIS Radeon HD 5870 graphics card. The
winning submission will win a board with their own design on it! The
coolest part about this contest is that this is for a yet to be
announced custom designed Radeon HD 5870! HIS didn’t stop there though
as they will be giving away a Radeon HD 5770 for second place and then
ATI will be giving away a copy of Dirt2 for third place.

Given
that HIS hasn’t even announced this board yet, and that the heatsink
sticker die cut was just finalized yesterday we feel that this contest
is pretty damn awesome. So, what do you need to do? You need to brush
up your photoshop or fireworks skills! If you don’t have one of those
applications you can print out the die cut and color it in with pencil,
crayons, marker or colored pencils scan it and post it back here on the
forums! Here is the die cut that will be used for the contest:

The area in red is where you you guys should be looking at for creating
your designs on. This should be plenty of space to come up with
something creative! Remember you are designing this card for yourself,
so please do anything you like. Who will be picking the winner? ATI and
Legit Reviews will be picking the winners, so if you are wondering who
your peers will be that should answer that. ATI and Legit Reviews are
both run by dedicated enthusiasts that are also gamers, so we should
all be on the same page.

Ive also uploaded a ZIP folder that contains high resolution die cuts that are required for use for the contest. ATI also provided some AMD Logos and ATI Radeon Logos that may be downloaded and used if you wish (using them is not required). Let’s take a look at the rules and then some of the entries on the following pages. Be sure to join the forums and post your entry here in THIS THREAD to enter.
