Great to hear that I've been selected, but the one month delay in the project means that it might clash with another project of mine.
What will be the exact dates of the competition?
If I'm busy during that time, I'd rather that another challenger takes my place since they'd be able to devote more time and probably do a better job.

Congrats to everyone who was chosen! Hopefully anyone who wasn't but who is still enthused will pick up a Raspberry PI 3 and blog along with the rest of the competitors. With the low minimum requirements to be considered in the running this is definitely a great option for everyone who has ideas!

Can't wait to hear the kits are shipped/arriving so the blogs can commence! :-)
