This year's DEF CON art contest is going to be just a little different.
First, you'll only have a few weeks to submit your masterpiece. All entries must be submitted by July 6th. That's a lot less lead time, but we're pretty sure pressure sharpens the mind.
The theme is also going to be a little different. Since this is DEF CON's 20th anniversary, we're asking for poster-style artwork that imagines DEF CON 20 years from now. What do you think we'll be sharing with each other at DEF CON 40? What will hackery look like in 2032? You're free to share your vision, whether you tend toward kittens and lollipops or brutal post-human hellscapes. We'll share the best pieces with everyone through Facebook and the DEF CON website, and we'll post the winners in a prestigious spot at the con. So don't be shy - fire up your favorite digital artmaker and give your right brain a workout.
