Guidance on Project Updates & Write-Ups

JoRatcliffe
JoRatcliffe
15 Apr 2026

Hey everyone, with the competition and build period well underway, I thought it would be helpful to share some guidance on providing project updates and link over to some examples.

Originality, innovation, and technical merit all factor into the judging criteria for the challenge. Further to this, you can choose how to structure your 5+ forum posts and final write-up, however, content should be clear and follow the evolution of your project through to completion.

Media-rich posts will be judged more favorably so, where possible, share your work by including:

  • Photos
  • Videos
  • Code samples

Overall - express your creativity, ingenuity, knowledge, and your hard work.

It is not acceptable to create Design Challenges entries (or Project14 / RoadTest content) using an LLM or OpenAI's ChatGPT or similar. This is covered further in a post over in the Feedback & Support sub-group.

There has already been some great discussion and updates, but if you are looking for further inspiration then you can always take a look at previous Design Challenges like Light Up Your Life and Start A Movement. Click here to go straight to the final project write-ups.
