whos actually gonna enter

This actually seems to eb the VOTING part of the competition. A while ago they had the entry time. So, I don't really think that you can 'enter' at this point but more of participate. Yet, they have banned so many of us we wouldn't be able to vote anyways.

Man that contest should be easy You can easily get at least 5th ....
Look at some of those: the laser mouse doesn't work for me , so looses points for that,besides I don't really see you could control a pointer on such a small area from 20 feet away, the tunnel glove and the laser show have some cool efect but it's just some stuff that was done before, DIY laser stand? : why would anyone need an instructable for that, he can just say "wrap some wire around your laser!", laser wall art? come on!!!
I would give it to the lego laser plotter , the waterproof case and the collimator for usefullness and ingenuity.

Browsing the laser instructables I also found some rather ridiculous ones like "Laserholic pets" which is essentially using your pointer to play with your pets
and the 9 volt laser which is building a 5mW aixiz laser into a 9 volt battery case and powering it with another 9 volt battery, directly driven :
