If you're into keyboards, synthesizers, and progressive rock and metal, you most likely have encountered Jordan Rudess. If you've stretched far beyond those aspects, there is a likelihood that you've already witnessed electronic music production (coined with the disputed term "Intelligent Dance Music" or IDM) in tandem with extremely virtuosic keyboard antics via the Keyboard Wizard website. In any case, such things require gear, and at this point, the Keyboard Wizard Contest, a composition competition sponsored by Intel, Asus, and Steinberg, is offering a chance to win your very own Asus N50Vc notebook. Want to know how? Just read below.

If you're a citizen of Austria, Germany, Greece, Ireland, Lithuania, Poland, Slovakia, Switzerland, UK, USA, Canada, Russia, and Japan, over 18 years of age, able to understand and speak English, and NOT a member of any royalty collection society, you're in for a lucky break. The Keyboard Wizard Contest would like you to create your very own music composition using the following:

• A trial version of Steinberg Sequel 2
• At least 10 loops from the Keyboard Wizard Content
• Other Sequel audio loops or MIDI files or your very own recordings

Up for grabs are the following prizes:

• 1st Prize: Brand-new ASUS N50Vc notebook with the latest Intel technologies and a Sequel 2 full version
• 2nd Prize: Sequel 2 full version, a Sequel lorry bag and a Sequel T-shirt
• 3rd Prize: iPod Shuffle

The Keyboard Wizard Contest will accept entries up until November 25, 2009.
