The Hackaday Prize is in its 9th Year: Our History

In 2014, we launched The Hackaday Prize to our smart, talented, enthusiastic community of engineers, scientists, designers and creatives everywhere. Over 600 projects were created, and the winner, SatNOGS, now has a foundation where they are continuing the work they started here.

In 2015, we challenged the Hackaday community to use their superpowers again. The results told the story of nearly 900 Hackaday Prize entrants using their unique skills to make big changes in peoples' lives. 2015's Hackaday Prize winner, the Eyedrivomatic, directly impacted those living with limited mobility.

In 2016, we had nearly 1,100 entries, and the Hackaday Prize winner was Dtto, a search and rescue robot. It's also an open source project that continues its journey at the Supplyframe Design Lab.

In 2017, the winner of the Hackaday Prize was Alex Williams, with an underwater explorer robot. Alex continued the work on his project at the Supplyframe Design Lab.

In 2018, the winner was Dexter, a 5-axis robotically controlled arm with insane precision. Dexter is now a product and a fledgling business located in Las Vegas, NV.

In 2019, FieldKit won the grand prize, and has continued to push the boundaries of open source environmental sensing with their organization Conservify.  

In 2020, The Byte, took the grand prize home with an open-source, mouth-actuated input device for people with physical challenges. 

Last year in 2021, FlowIO Platform, took the grand prize home with an open-source, miniature, modular pneumatics toolkit for control & sensing of Soft Robots and Programmable Materials.

It is now time to start the 2022 Hackaday Prize. In keeping with the incredible hardware community, we hope to activate the next generation of innovative open source hardware solutions.

Hi - I tried to submit my project (An SD Card for the Sharp PC | Hackaday.io) to the "Hack it Back" contest, but after clicking the "Submit my Project" button I just get a pop-up saying "Please submit your project to The Hackaday Prize", and nothing more. What does that mean? Is there anything more to be done, to complete my submission? Deadline is 24/7.

  Are you sure? yes | no

Same result trying to submit it again as a brand new project too ( https://hackaday.io/project/186438-sd-card-for-the-sharp-pc ), using the "Start your Entry" button   -   Then removed (left only original one)

  Are you sure? yes | no

Got it - you have to submit the project for "Supplyframe DesignLab: 2022 Hackaday Prize". It'll give you the "hack it back" choice by default (the last and only open contest)

  Are you sure? yes | no

Correct. Your project has been submitted to 2022 THP. Good luck on the Prize!

  Are you sure? yes | no

Hello. Can Russians participate in this contest? (seriously) I'm asking because preparing the information will take time and I don't want to waste it. But I still want to share some of my experience.

  Are you sure? yes | no
