Contest Details:

The third annual Holiday Special 19 is an open-ended holiday project competition that challenges you to make a project that reflects what the holidays mean to you. We're asking the community members to spread mirth and merry to the world through projects that use music, LED Displays, Nixie Pixels, Strobe Lights, Fog Machines, or anything else that puts you in a celebratory mood. Your project can also be a "From Me to You" project, a thoughtful projects that's made with others in mind. It can inspired by gifts, food, or cards exchanged during the holidays. Or you could focus on electronic ways of sending the warmest wishes to friends and family - could be an electronic greetings card, a way to automatically email or use RF transmission to link up via video etc. It can also be a fun project that's made in the holiday spirit such as a snow globe that will warn you of inclement weather conditions, voice-activated ornaments, jazzed up holiday cards, LED decorations - anything that means the holidays to you. Your project can be related to Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, or Festivus for the rest of us related! It can even be a Star Wars project, if you only believe in the Force.

The only thing that we ask is that your holiday project shows heart! The project that shows the most heart wins a Tektronix Oscilloscope and Application bundle (~value of $18,500) plus a tool kit (~value of $325) to gift to another member for their project. Three first place winners will receive a will receive a tool kit bundle (~value of $225) along with a $100 shopping cart as well as a $100 shopping cart to give to another member for their projects. All Gift to Gives can be given to any member that submitted a project in either Holiday Special 19 or the RF (Radio Frequency) which will be happening at the same time. Throughout the month we'll have holiday round ups of previous projects submitted during previous Holiday Special competitions! You can use those as inspiration for submitting a Holiday project that is unique to you. Also, check out our Engineer and Maker's Wish List 2019 in the Members area and share your product Wishlist and find links to element14 presents product giveaways to collect more tools to help deck out your bench!

Your project will be judged based on the following criteria:

Follow the Steps - Did you show the steps it took you to complete the project (text, video, or images) and did you include documentation such as schematics?
Submit Video Proof - Did you post video proof of you project?
Stick to the Theme - How well did your project stick to the theme (any holiday project) of the competition?
Demonstrate Originality - Was your project your original? Did you come up with a clever name for their project?

We know that not all of you celebrate Christmas, so we want to make sure everyone is included with the holiday special. If there is a holiday project other than a Christmas Project that you want to celebrate feel free to enter that into the holiday contest. For instance, it could be a Hanukkah project, a Winter Solstice project, a Kwanzaa project, or a Festivus for the rest of us project:

Your Chance to Win

Come Up With a Clever Name	Stick to the Theme
A clever name can make your project memorable. The right name can distinguish your project from others and help create buzz around your project. This project is your baby! Part of the fun of bringing something new into the world is coming up with a name.	If you have an idea for a project that doesn't fit the current theme then submit your idea in the comments section of the monthly poll.
Be Original	Submit Video Proof
Providing the steps you took to complete your project (text, video, or images) and providing video proof should be sufficient in most cases. If your project introduces something new or something that is not commercially available or affordable then that counts!	If it doesn't work that's fine, this program is more about the journey than the end product. A short video is all that is required but you can shoot as much video as you like. You are encouraged to be creative and have as much fun as possible!
