These successful applicants will be our sponsored challengers, and they must use Diglient's Cmod S7 within their project, and publish their final code and designs on the Community for others to use. Those not chosen as sponsored challengers may also join the competition and be eligible to win prizes, but they must base their projects around the kit listed above and adhere to all terms and conditions of the challenge.
They need to post their progress and final project as at least 5 blog posts before the closing date (see above), when projects are due.
Posts which use the FPGA most creatively, are media rich with photos, videos, and code samples will be viewed more favorably in the judging process.
