2015 Hackaday Prize

[LzEn]

Just wanted to let everyone know that the 2015 hackaday prize is here. The topic for this year is below.

This year we're solving problems that matter to everyone.

The creative energy and years of experience found in our huge community of Hackers, Designers, and Engineers is waiting to be unleashed. Let's use that potential and move humanity forward. This doesn't mean one giant solution. Thousands of people, each lifting one stone, moves mountains.

POLLUTION
Monitoring, preventing, and scrubbing environmental pollutants.

FOOD
Growing, storing, and transporting food to feed the world.

ENERGY
Generating, storing, and reducing consumption of electricity.

And the prizes are pretty awesome in my opinion

GRAND PRIZE
A TRIP INTO SPACE OR $196,883

2ND PRIZE
90 Watt Full Spectrum Laser Cutter

3RD PRIZE
Builder Kit (pcb mill, 3d printer, cnc router, bench lathe)

4TH PRIZE
Tour CERN in Geneva, Switzerland

5TH PRIZE
Explore Shenzhen, China

If that is the case I would recommend creating a sub forum for contest rather than one topic for all of them. But that is my opinion.. Cheers
