Each entry must be original and uploaded within the specified time, otherwise it will be considered disqualified.
The intellectual property of the entries belongs to the participants, and they must ensure that their submissions do not infringe on any third party's intellectual property rights. The competition has three themes: Electronic Project, Mechanical Project, and STM32 Project. Each participant can choose any theme to participate in and is allowed to upload multiple projects.
Each entry must include original design files: electronic projects should include their PCB designs, and mechanical designs should include their mechanical design files. We strongly recommend sharing all files related to the project (such as Gerber files, BOM list, schematics, layouts, code, mechanical design files, CNC machining files, etc.) to help judges better understand your creativity.
How to participate? Click the "Participate Now" button on the competition page. Alternatively, create a new proiect in the PCBWay community, click the "submit project to.." button on the page, and select the appropriate theme: "Electronic Project," "Mechanical Project, " or "STM32 Project."
Regarding the participation award of the Raspberry Pi Pico, once each entry is approved by PCBWay, 500 points will be allocated to your PCBWay account, which you can use to redeem the Pico in the store.
The additional rewards for using STM32 series chips will be granted based on a thorough evaluation by our judges and will be awarded only to great projects. Not every STM32 project will receive this reward.

We will comprehensively evaluate the complexity and innovation of the project design.
A complete project description encom passes function, videos, programs, and more.Comprehensive information helps enhance others' understanding of your project. And whether the files are fully open source is also an important factor in the review.
Don't forget to share your project to garner more support!
We look forward to seeing more and more great projects that can have a positive impact on society.
