The Internet of Holiday Lights - We Have (a) Winner(s)!

6 Feb 2015
Many thanks to all who participated in the Internet of Holiday Lights RoadTest Plus.  In a little over 6 weeks, 112 fascinating, interesting and challenging blog posts were created and we got to see a glimpse of the future of Holiday Lights applications.
It hasn't been easy to select a winner.  Indeed, it was so problematic that we have picked two grand prize recipients.
Grand Prize Winner #1: Peter Oakes
image
Peter Oakes' BYOB Party was an inspiration to others, and indeed a lot of other competitors cited his work in their builds.  It is our pleasure to follow up his coterie of Holiday Lights Party-goers with a Robox 3D printer.
Grand Prize Winner #2: Inderpreet Singh
image
Inderpreet Singh has turned his living room into a permanent holiday lights display, complete with dancing minions.  Such dedication and single-mindedness deserves recognition with the 3D printer.
And finally...
Thank you to all our participants. Those who finished their projects will receive a copy of The Internet of Things with the Arduino Yún by Marco Schwarz.  I encourage everyone who found this challenge intriguing and exciting to participate in our now enrolling Enchanted Objects IoT Challenge.

    I also want to thank everyone who participated and posted their ideas.

    I learn a lot and was inspired by the creativity you all showed during the contest.

     

    Well Done.

    Thanks everyone for the support and wishes. Since this will be our first printer we will need all the guidance we can get. ( I speak for myself and my better half.)

    Looking forward to more fruitful endeavors.
