Dear NASA Tech Briefs Reader:

You are invited to enter the first-ever Emhart Design Contest, 
featuring a top prize of $20,000 or a high-tech automobile. Every 
qualified entrant will earn a prize and be recognized in the pages of 
NASA Tech Briefs, co-sponsor of the contest with Emhart Teknologies - a 
Black & Decker Company.  Visit http://www.emhartcontest.com for 
complete details.

To enter, submit an original design idea in one of these three 
categories:

* Everyday Products - significant functional or ergonomic new products,
or upgrades to existing products, that improve quality of life;

* Safety - mechanical or electromechanical designs to improve personal
safety during travel, work, recreation, or at home;

* Transportation - mechanical or electromechanical designs that improve
the functionality, performance, or cost basis of transportation 
products.

The Grand Prize winner will receive a hybrid automobile or $20,000 in 
cash. One First Prize winner will get a Segway Transporter or a trip 
for four to Florida to tour NASA's Kennedy Space Center and attend a 
Space Shuttle launch. 

Dozens of other prizes will be awarded, and all qualified entrants will 
receive a POP(r) PowerLink 30 repair kit/hand rivet tool, valued at 
$50.

So get those creative juices flowing - entries must be received by

Good luck!
