Based on the giveaway title, is this limited college freshmen? I couldn't find any rules indicating one way or the other.

I'm not allowed to post rules until the day of my giveaway, but it's not limited to college freshmen - HP just intends the laptop promotion to be oriented towards recent college grads and there are 15 units to be given away, so Freshman 15 seemed like a fun name.

So, to be clear, anyone regardless of age or country of residence will be able to participate in my giveaway. Full rules will be published on October 4th.

One more thing.
Can a person have more than one entry? I have a couple of great ideas and was having difficulty deciding which one to go for.

I just removed the floor from my moms kitchen, so I decided to cut some of it out, then decided that would take way too long, so I just burned the rest, with sparklers and a blowtorch.

Nice, I was a bit surprised at first (looked at the picture before reading the whole comment) then I realized it was a kitchen floor and it had been removed (thank goodness)!

Here is my entry into the competition. Click here for a larger view. I have a posting on my friend's blog where I go into detail about each dish, and with more pictures. Visit here for the juicy details.

I got to say, out of all the HP contests so far, this has been the most enjoyable one.

Richard.

It's not as elaborate as everyone elses, but with the minimal funds I have available, I did the best I could!

My entry (if it's allowed - I hope it's allowed!) is of a dinner I made for my wife and I. We're stationed in South Korea living off of the installation. Because of that, we don't have an oven or anything so I made do with what we have and made a pretty tasty dish.

It's Toasted Turkey and Cheese Sandwiches served with a side dish of Cream Soup with Mandarin juice.



I'd love to have made a more elaborate dish, but it was kind of impossible at the moment. It was something I made myself though. Big smile I hope this qualifies!

you clearly stated that we cannot fake pictures in photoshop, but can we use it to correct the color or stuff like that?
