In addition to the new categories, modders can apply from November 7th for the tried and tested disciplines „CaseMod" (Case Modification - modified computer cases from industrial series production), „Casecons" (Case Construction - self-designed and built cases), „CE-Mods“ (Consumer Electronics - converted other cases, except computers) and the „Livemodding-Challenge" in a team of two (Modding live in front of festival visitors). In the categories „most spectacular creation" and „the most beautiful beauty case", visitors can vote on the result of the decision.
