Thank you so much!!!! I’m genuinely appreciative of being selected as the winner, even if I’m still double-checking that the announcement wasn’t meant for someone else. The other entries were superb and have given me far too many ideas for future tinkering (my to-do list is now alarmingly long).

As a relative newcomer to the element14 community, I have to say: it’s a great place to be, and I’m really pleased to have stumbled in. I’ll be sure to put together a project or write-up once I get my hands on the prize.

Speaking of which… who wants to guess which one I’m going to pick?

Hey everyone, a big thanks to everyone who took part in this year's Halloween competition, there's been so many fantastic projects!

I'll be posting a round-up of all the projects and I'm already looking forward to announcing the winners very soon on the 16th.

I was actually wondering about this year's Halloween competition. Glad to see the spots have increased this year and the Analog & Diligent devices are really worth the efforts.

Hi everyone, it's time to announce the winner of this year's Halloween contest and it is none other than [mention:193ac2434c814a24b46635a2210baec1:e9ed411860ed4f2ba0265705b8793d05] ! [emoticon:12b4d7d82eab4c9296f4f45657a8e383]

Doug, your interpretation of the Boo In A Box theme resulted in a really original, innovative project. Incorporating the different aspects of the project, such as the legs and arms, into a relatively small form factor was very impressive. Plus, you documented the project well with plenty of images and a great video.

Enjoy your prize! [emoticon:8416d71642834782a5fe858404490f18]

For anyone who missed out on this competition or was not able to submit their project in time, don't worry. As our minds switch over from thinking about Halloween to planning for the Holidays and end of year festivities, we will be having a new competition launching soon with a theme to match!

The Halloween competition is concluded for another year!

First, we had [mention:cded45fb5bbc46d7b87fc7625ddfc78a:e9ed411860ed4f2ba0265705b8793d05] 's Squid Game Doll:

This was definitely suitably spooky for Halloween, the audio is very effective and definitely provoked a reaction. Plus, the videos really captured both the making process and also the finished project.

Then, a Proverbial Black Box touched down from deep in cyberspace, courtesy of [mention:193ac2434c814a24b46635a2210baec1:e9ed411860ed4f2ba0265705b8793d05] :

The name and concept are a really interesting take on the theme which resonated with us. On top of this, the box's ability to first open its eyes, then stand up, then extend its arms, and then talk, create the feeling of multiple surprises (or multiple boo's in one box, if you like). The speed the box can stand up at is particularly startling and caught people by surprise when I showed it to them.

We will be announcing the winner before too long but I'd like to say a big thank you again to everybody who has participated as well as our entrants.

I hope the Boo In A Box theme was inspiring. Some of my favourite projects from previous years were the wearable projects including Rick and Morty-inspired Torture Underwear and the Ghostbusters Equipment + Costume so perhaps there's some potential there for an interesting theme next time [emoticon:c4563cd7d5574777a71c318021cbbcc8]

With the Halloween competition over, it is time for me to take a break and hand back over to [mention:ef3eff32a0cb4cc7a5e89891f461c343:e9ed411860ed4f2ba0265705b8793d05:label=jobatcliffe%20%5Bemoticon%3A47ddd273cb744e9990f86855c72b6bc1%5D%20%28joratcliffe%29] . He has booked me a holiday at the Bates Motel. I couldn't find it on Google but I'm sure they'll take good care of me there. See you next year!
