The full press release can be read by clicking here.
A big thank you to all who participated in the In the Air IoT Design Challenge, the partners, element14 and the wider public have been deeply impressed by the projects we've seen to help create a greener, cleaner world.
It was not an altogether straightforward matter to pick a winner: however, in the end, we've awarded the prizes to the following individuals and their projects.
The Grand Prize
The Grand Prize has gone to Christever del Rosario of New Zealand for his Carbon Footprint Monitoring System.  His project's final summary can be read by clicking here.

Christever will receive:
  1. 15 inch MacBook Pro with Retina Display
  2. U1273A OLED Multimeter from Keysight
  3. SimpleLinkTm Bluetooth SmartRegistered/Multi-Standard SensorTag (Manufacturer Number: CC2650STK)
Community Choice Winner
The Community Choice Winner by a clear plurality of votes was Inderpreet Singh of India for his Firecracker Aftermath Analyzer.  His project's final summary can be read by Clicking here.

Inderpreet will receive:
  1. 13 inch MacBook Air
  2. SimpleLinkTm Bluetooth SmartRegistered/Multi-Standard SensorTag (Manufacturer Number: CC2650STK)
Additionally, we felt that two other projects deserved recognition as Honourable Mentions; both engineers will receive a SimpleLinkTm Bluetooth SmartRegistered/Multi-Standard SensorTag as a prize.
Honourable Mention 1
Our first Honourable Mention goes to Ambrogio Galbusera of Italy for his AirMobile project. The project summary can be found by clicking here.
Honourable Mention 2
Our second Honourable Mention goes to Janis Alnis of Latvia for his Air Quality Monitoring In School Classes project.  The project summary can be found by clicking here.
Thank you once again to all the participants for their time, energy and effort: we look forward to more innovative and exciting design challenges in 2015 coming to life.

    On a technical level I thought Christever, Ambrogio and Janis did a fantastic job designing their solutions, as did Inderpreet, Dragan, Frederick and others and I hope they will continue to develop their…

    Thanks Dragan for you appreciation I hoped not to be misunderstood: Christever absolutely deserved his prize, but I am very disappointed to see that ipv1 won a Mac that worths a thousand euros with just…

    I totally don't agree with you Dragan... many compliments for sure to xever and janisalnis, but it's quite frustrating to see (after so many nights spent soldering and debugging) some other people who win with so few efforts...

    but this is my opinion and I don't expect anyone to agree

    Not quite ... it was also mine and element14 were warned about this going back to the Forget Me Not challenge.

     

    If the rule is ignored why put it in at all.

    only increases the number of "I'm just letting you know that I was unable to make progress this week" posts

    That is not necessarily correct.

    Anyone that looks at any other challenge will see there might be delays or 'slow' weeks, and as Engineers you should be prepared for that.

    It is not hard to find material to support your project (after all you did apply and it was your idea) and to present these in the weekly blog.

     

    Posting a blog that states "I can't do anything because I didn't order parts early enough" IMO is pure laziness and speaks volumes about your engineering skills (or the lack of them).
