Can you enter both contests?

Question

Are we allowed to enter a project into both the Hackster.io and element14 challenges/contests?

You can definitely participate in both contests if you have a separate device for each contest.

I don't know if it is possible with one device - you would at least need to satisfy both phase 1 synch periods without overlap (ie synch for 45 days instead of 15 or 30) and create two different IoT applications for phase 2. However since one objective is to test maximum simultaneous access, and 1 device cannot look like 2 devices, it would be more compliant to have 2 devices.

Hi Elvis! Douglas has it correct below: you can join both contests, but your submissions to both MUST be unique. It is a standard term of our Design Challenges that your build must be unique to that challenge. The contest server sync process exists in both challenges, and both will require a new project build for each challenge.

Hi Elvis, you certainly could enter with one device! But we understand if it's easier to do two builds with two kits, so if you request a second (if available) and are not abusing the system we are fine with a competitor in both challenges having two kits.

That's exactly right Vincent, it's a requirement of both challenges that the build you submit is unique to that challenge, so it cannot be one project submitted to both challenges.

Hi Clem, this wording is misleading, our fault! Can you point me in the direction of where you found that so I can make a change?

Thanks Clem, let me go correct that!

Yes as long as you follow the rules for each one. They overlap but not 100%.
