Overview
Good-natured pranks, tricks, shenanigans, and more are all welcome on April Fools' Day!
We want to see what clever tricks you have up your sleeve, so we're having an April Fools Contest! Show us how you do your own prank and you could win some cool prizes! Just make sure it's all in good, clean fun - no dangerous or mean-spirited pranks, please.
This is a short contest, but it will end a few days after April Fools' Day. So if you want to keep your own prank a secret until after you've pulled it off, you have a few extra days to post it on Instructables.
We'll be giving away some cool books and t-shirts to the winners. Winners to be decided by a combination of user vote and Instructables judges. Full Instructables and slideshows will be eligible - just be sure to include enough information so someone else can repeat your work!
Now show us how sneaky you can be!

(Official Rules)
Create a new Instructable that fits the guidelines outlined in the contest description above. To be eligible, Instructables must be published between Mar 20, 2009 and Apr 5, 2009 (11:59pm PT).
Upon publishing your Instructable you'll see checkboxes for open contests. Select April Fools Contest. If you have entries currently eligible for entry, it will also show up by clicking "Enter this Contest" on the right side of this page.
Entries are accepted by Instructables staff within one business day Monday - Friday. What matters is the submission time, not acceptance time.
A panel of judges made up of Instructables staff and respected members of the community rate the finalists. The averages of the ratings determine the winners.
