Originally Adafruit offered us 20 boards to give away. But when we had so many interesting submissions they were kind enough to throw in some more. We took them up on it, eventually choosing 41 winners… and believe us when we say it was difficult to whittle it down to that number! Thank you to all who took the time and made the effort to send something in.
Organizationally it’s been a challenge keeping all of the submissions straight. That’s why the presentation of the top entries is listed as a set of galleries. More info on each is available on their associated update posts. Congratulations to all! We want to do more giveaways in this same spirit (with different prize hardware and submission themes each time). If you’re interested in that please let us leave your words of encouragement in the comments.
wow 41 winners, thanks hackaday and adafruit
It’s a great way to promote this website and whoever they are associate themselves with.
and to think only a little while ago adafruit was bashing hackaday for the immature commenters…
hi fox, it’s me – phil, the founder of hack-a-day :) and i also work at adafruit, hack-a-day is really important to me and always will be, there was a period of time when many of the comments were not constructive or encouraging (especially for young makers) that’s changed a lot, the team at hack-a-day is doing a great job and as this contest showed, it’s fun and interesting to get your project posted on hack-a-day!
Super cool! Thank you Hackaday and Adafruit, this contest was a blast!
They like me. They really like me. Seriously, this was a fun contest to take part in. Please do more.
aside from my entry, i think it was the spray-on ass tattoo that put me over the edge!
I really liked taking part in the contest. It was the reason for me to send in my fist submission, and a great reason to spend the afternoon pushing what I can do with the equipment I have at hand.
That and I actually have a use for the trinket !
A small LED aquarium timer/PWM source!
I really liked watching this contest. I was too preoccupied to participate. Next time.
congrats to the winners!
I’ve been a lurker for years and still had fun in the contest (I was the RepRapPro Huxley/Post-it note pen-plotter).
Awesome! Thanks Hackaday and Adafruit!
Diggin the Exchange LED Sign. Very Nice!
Thanks HackADay and Adafruit! WOw! 41 Trinkets. That is super generous!

My hand-etched mouse did not win, then?
Ahhh now I will have to wait for the next contest!
Patrick my skull+real wrenches did’t win also, bu hell it was published on famous HAD!
I think that is great price also :)
It is indeed! Getting posted on HaD for the first time? Personal victory!
Next time, I will make sure to think about something nice enough to win :-)
I saw that one, and really think you should’ve won one. Sure it wasn’t the prettiest, but you did something great with the limited resources you have. If anything you should’ve won several, since you could probably use them more than people with obviously hundreds or thousands of dollars to spare on fancy machines. :P
Great contest. If you ever run a contest again (and I hope you do), please give enough time in advance! :)
loved it, Thanks!
It was fun just participating. I guess I can always just buy a Trinket.
Thanks hackaday that’s awesome!!!
Awesome! My stupid little HaD pumpkin made it! Thanks HaD and Adafruit! There were so many awesome and clever entries. You guys have some awesome tools!
My Laser etched wallet made the cut, yay! I have no clue what im going the use the trinket for…
If you have no plan for using it, I would be glad to buy it from you ;)
But I do recommand messing around with it, they are great little device! Im sure you will come up with an idea!
Contests for HaD stickers/shirts are always fun. Also now that I’ve won a Trinket, I’ve got to find something to use it on! So, trinket contest anyone? ;-)
A big thank you to Adafruit and Hackaday!! I just got a email that says the Trinket board was shipped to me.
I think we should do a follow up… “What I used my trinket for…” not necessarily restricted to just the winners of this contest of course, but given the level of creativity shown here, I suspect the winners offerings would be well worth seeing…
