eDR’s Hard Drive Crusher, which won Best Product of TechnoSecurity in 2006, is a machine that physically destroys obsolete computer hard drives.  This ensures that no confidential information can ever be recovered and prevents identity theft. The Hard Drive Crusher is the only product of its kind that provides visual verification of destruction, which gives users confidence that their private information is protected.  Current users of eDR’s Hard Drive Crusher include the U.S. Senate, CIA, Department of Defense, National Security Agency, Embassy of the United Arab Emirates, Royal Mounted Canadian Police and many universities.


The contest will consist of two parts: a poster design contest and a Web site design contest.  The poster should be designed to inform people about the Hard Drive Crusher in a creative way, and the web design should be aimed at creating an original, exciting image for the Hard Drive Crusher’s new Web site, www.harddrivecrusher.com. Not only will the winner of each category receive $1,500, but the winning students’ schools will be awarded a free Hard Drive Crusher, valued at $11,500.
