In celebration of Fallout's 10th anniversary, new IP owner Bethesda Softworks have opened a contest for the aspiring Vault Dweller to design their own perk to be included in the upcoming Fallout 3. The winner will also receive a bunch of gear for either PC or Console gamers (there are separate packages for each, listed on the contest page).
You don't have to possess artistic talent to enter, opting instead to use one of Bethesda's 15 pre-made sketches. However, if you want to submit your own art work, photo or whatever, you're more than welcome to. Contest ends 11:59 p.m. ET on October 31.

I'm guessing in Fallout a perk is an ability? Sorry if I'm slow this morning.

Coachroach DNA. That helps with all the nuclear fallout. Or twinkies. Whichever works the best.

Hope you guys have fun with this contest.
Here's how a PERK is described on the Fallout wiki, The Vault:
In the SPECIAL character system, Perks are beneficial bonuses the player charecter picks up from experience. The number of Ranks each Perk has determines how many times the perk can be taken.
Perk Rate is a Derived Statistic. It describes how often the character is allowed to pick a Perk. The lower the Perk Rate, the better. Character's Perk Rate depends on his race, traits, such as Skilled (which increases the rate) and Fear the Reaper (which decreases it). Some perks, like Divine Favor, may decrease the Perk Rate as well. http://fallout.wikia.com/wiki/Perk
