For a very brief interruption to Renee’s awesome Doctor Who week, I wanted to mention that Woot is hosting a pretty rad DEVO band shirt contest right now! I’m partial to this Methane, Benzene, 1-Butane, Cyclohexane, DEVO design by dirtdirt, but there are dozens of cool entries to check out.

And the prizes are impressive, to say the least…

Our winning design will be hand-picked by DEVO themselves, with second place being chosen by our usual Derby voting and third place being selected by the editorial staff here at Shirt.Woot.

In addition to the usual Shirt.Woot payout, DEVO is upping the ante with fabulous prizes:

1st Place (as chosen by DEVO themselves)

- 2 tickets to a DEVO show of your choice in the upcoming Fall tour and a meet & greet with the band
- $1,000 spendin’ money (on top of the usual winning payout) courtesy of Shirt.Woot to help get you there and
back
- Signed DEVO merch
- Limited Edition 7-inch record
- Full DEVO discography on your choice of CD or vinyl
- One Jumpsuit, Energy Dome, and Glasses ensemble

Shirt entries have been closed but there’s still plenty of time to vote for your favorite, who will be the lucky second-place winner!

Big thanks to everyone who submitted a geek craft! Through the very scientific process of my husband and I picking the entries we liked best, here are the winners:

ICandee made this scene from Mario Brothers in polymer clay.

Tae submitted this absolutely amazing Millennium Falcon cake on Ace of Cakes. How could anyone stand to cut this one up?

This very cute crocheted Pi symbol was made by Alicia Kachmar and submitted by Taine HR.

JasonT was inspired by a project on the Star Wars Kids Craft blog and made his own Bantha plushie.

LyricalDevil submitted this Zelda Triforce drink, recipe by The Domestic Scientist. I think this is the first beverage we’ve had on Geek Crafts.

Taine HR, Lyrical Devil, JasonT, Tae and ICandee – send your real name and address to shayne@geekcrafts.com so I can send you your prize packs!
