The third annual Holiday Special 19 was an open-ended holiday project competition that challenged you to make a project that reflects what the holidays mean to you. We asked 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 could have been a "From Me to You" project, a thoughtful projects that's made with others in mind. It could be inspired by gifts, food, or cards exchanged during the holidays. Or you could have focused on electronic ways of sending the warmest wishes to friends and family such as an electronic greetings card, a way to automatically email or use RF transmission to link up via video etc. It could 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 could have been related to Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, or Festivus for the rest of us related! It could even be a Star Wars project, if you only believe in the Force.
The only thing that we asked of you is that your holiday project showed 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.

There's always stuff going on in the community and the best ideas always come from you. Suggest your idea in the Monthly Poll, and vote on the themes you want to do projects on. Build projects projects that involve infrasound, audible sound, ultrasound, amplifiers, piezoelectric material, spectrum analyzers, and more in the Acoustics competition. Your project can be anything involving sound or using a transducer for converting one form of energy into another. In an electroacoustic context, a transducer converts sound energy into electrical energy (or vice versa). Your project can involve electroacoustic transducers that convert a sound wave to some form of electric signal such as loudspeakers, microphones, particle velocity sensors, hydrophones and sonar projectors. The most widely used transduction principles are electromagnetism, electrostatics and piezoelectricity.
