You don't have to win a prize to get a tangible sign of our appreciation. As a special thank you, EFF will award a limited edition Defcon 18 "Things to Hack" t-shirt to ALL fundraising captains who raise more than $200. The shirt's to-be-pwned list shows the world's best hacks past and future and contains a hidden message that...well, you'll have to see for yourself! This is an exclusive opportunity for contestants only, as the shirt will not be available to the general public until Defcon 18!
Special thanks to the honorary Ninja Networks and Friends team for being one of our contest sponsors and raising over $1,380. Note that Ninja Networks and Friends team is not eligible to win the prize package, leaving the contest wide open. Form a team; put a badge up on your blog; ask your friends and family there are lots of ways to help EFF and compete for the prizes. See Official Rules for full details. See you in Vegas!
