Project14 \| Holiday Special 20: Win Tool Kit Bundles, Shopping Carts, and Gifts to Give Others!


The fourth annual Holiday Special 20 is an open-ended holiday project competition that challenges you to make a project that reflects what the holidays mean to you. 2020 has been a sobering year for most, we are hoping this year's holiday project competition brings a familiar sense of joy and normality to the holiday season, and that technology can help bridge the distance between friends and family, during a time of the year that has become synonymous with gathering around friends and family. So, we’re asking members to spread mirth and merry to the world through projects that use music, LED Displays, Nixie Pixels, Strobe Lights, Fog Machines, or anything else that puts you into a celebratory mood. If the past year has put you in a reflective mood, your project can be a thoughtful project with others in mind, such as a project inspired by gifts, food, or cards exchanged during the holidays. Or you could focus on electronic ways of sending the warmest wishes to friends and family, such as an electronic greetings card, a way to automatically email or use RF transmission to link up via video etc. It can also be a fun project that's made in the holiday spirit such as a snow globe that will warn you of inclement weather conditions, voice-activated ornaments, jazzed up holiday cards, LED decorations - anything that means the holidays to you. Your project can be related to Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, or Festivus for the rest of us related! It can even be a Star Wars project, if you only believe in the Force. The only thing that we ask is that your holiday project shows heart! The project that shows the most heart wins a tool kit (~ $500 value) that includes a handheld oscilloscope, a usb soldering iron, a bench power supply, wire strippers, along with a $400 shopping cart plus a $100 gift to give to another member for their project. Three first place winners will receive will receive a tool kit bundle (~value of $300 value) along with a $200 shopping cart and a $100 shopping cart to give to another member for their projects. All Gift to Gives can be given to any member’s that the winners think are deserving but did not win.

Your Chance to Win

Come Up With a Clever Name	Stick to the Theme
A clever name can make your project memorable. The right name can distinguish your project from others and help create buzz around your project. This project is your baby! Part of the fun of bringing something new into the world is coming up with a name.	If you have an idea for a project that doesn't fit the current theme then submit your idea in the comments section of the monthly poll.
Be Original	Submit Video Proof
Providing the steps you took to complete your project (text, video, or images) and providing video proof should be sufficient in most cases. If your project introduces something new or something that is not commercially available or affordable then that counts!	If it doesn't work that's fine, this program is more about the journey than the end product. A short video is all that is required but you can shoot as much video as you like. You are encouraged to be creative and have as much fun as possible!
