Win an A1-X1000!

AWompatition time! Celebrating 25 years of the Amiga

News item comes via amigaworld.net

To aid in the celebrations for the Amiga having been with us for the  last 25 years, in conjunction with Trevor Dickinson and A-EON,  Amigaworld are proud to announce their biggest competition to date - the  AW 25th Anniversary Celebration Puzzle Competition (or AWompetition 2!)


With  this somewhat special event, we have some incredibly special prizes to  be won kindly donated from a variety of sources, not least of which is  coming from A-EON themselves!

Full details of this competition  can be found here.

Winners will be announced on  the 23rd July - the actual 25th Anniversary day.


PLEASE  NOTE: The e-mail address used by this competition is currently not  functioning properly. Please do not submit your answers before April 6th  (which is when we hope to have fixed the issue).

I was hoping they were going to have a coloring contest.

I just freaked myself out getting 18 in my first look (including the spaceman)... Ok, I've spent far too much of my life on the Amiga :-o

Yea, I only know about 5 of the faces on there. Either that contest is too hard or I'm just not enough of an Amiga geek....

That case is pretty good.

Eventhough I'm not interested in the machine myself, I wish them luck (and healthy sales).

I see Omid Dajalli, Sun Yat-Sen, Gandhi, Jesus and the cast of Cats from London.  Oh, wait maybe not the entire cast...

Do they actually expect anyone beyond people who were C= insiders to actually name all those people?
