> INSTRUMENTS
>
> Any new musical instrument is eligible for the competition.
> Instruments may generate sound acoustically or electronically, they
> may exist in physical or virtual manifestations, and they may be
> played by humans, robots, or computers. They may modify, improve, or
> extend existing instruments — including the human voice — or they may
> offer entirely new design paradigms. New instruments which cross over
> these categories or which defy any such categorization are also  
> welcome.
>
> PERFORMANCE
>
> Entrants must perform a musical work with their new instrument to
> demonstrate its musicality, design, and engineering features.
> Performances may include traditional acoustic and/or electronic
> instruments alongside the new instrument. They may also include
> multimedia elements such as video, animation, graphics, text,
> kinesthetics, hydraulics, dance, or acting. The performed work may be
> composed by anyone, including the entrant, or it may be an arrangement
> of an existing work. It may be in any musical style. The duration
> should be between 2 and 10 minutes. Entrants must be prepared to
> perform with their instrument at Georgia Tech on February 27th-28th,
