"The Hackaday Prize is the greatest hardware competition on the planet. It's the Academy Awards of Open Hardware, and over the last few years we've seen literally tens of projects that have gone from an idea to a prototype to a finished project to a saleable product. It's the greatest success story the Open Hardware community has."
