You can see the stock list for the Kustom Stand here and also if you want to order anything from their website, you can select the epic.TWO delivery option and they will bring it along free of charge!

Kustom have also kindly agreed to provide the prizes for our mini competitions for decorating your desk, making a video and capturing the LAN!

We're on a roll here! Our next mini competition for epic.TWO is called "Capture the LAN" and this one is for you budding photographers out there!

This one is quite simple, all you have to do is take a photograph and submit it to a folder on the FTP at the LAN. The photograph has to be something that captures the atmosphere of an epic.LAN and sums it up in one single image.

So this one wont be judged on who has the biggest camera, but more about who snaps that moment that just captures what epic.LAN is all about! Once again, we'll find a prize for the winner and show off some of the best entries in our gallery. Closing will be 12noon on the Sunday of epic.TWO.

Here's a chance for you to show off your creative skills at epic.TWO!

At some point on Friday at epic.TWO we will be making an announcement and releasing a number of media files for you to work with to create a short video about that announcement. There will then be 24 hours in which to make and submit a video (max 3mins) which will then be shown and judged during the quiz on Saturday night.

The winner of this competition will win one of the prizes from our event sponsors!

Watch out on the friday of epic.TWO for more details!

To brighten up things at epic.TWO we're pleased to announce the latest of our mini competitions and this time it's for the person who makes the most interesting decoration of their desk at epic.TWO. The winner will receive some goodies from one of our event sponsors.

The rules:

• Competition will be judged at some point on Friday Evening/Saturday Morning
• You cannot in any way vandalise the desk!
• The only powered items permitted must be those which you can run off your PC power supply. No externally powered items are allowed at the LAN anyway!
• Anyone seen to be sabotaging other entries will be disqualified.
• Your entry cannot involve sound or anything that is likely to disrupt/annoy your neighbours.
• Your entry must be safe and not likely to damage other people or their property!
