We’re challenging you to make the best whatever. It’s time for the Anything Goes round of the Hackaday Prize. This is your final chance to enter and we’re looking for just about anything! Twenty entries from Anything Goes will receive a $1,000 cash prize and a chance at the $50,000 grand prize and four other top prizes.
Over the last six months, we asked you to Design Your Concept, and then challenged you to build the Internet of Useful Things, Wheels Wings and Walkers, and Assistive Technologies that ensure a better quality of life for the disabled. All things must come to an end, though, but for the last challenge in the Hackaday Prize, we’re going wild. Is there a theme? No, just go build the best whatever you can. Our one bit of advice: the Hackaday Prize is about Building Something that Matters so do find a way for your “anything” to make the world a little bit better place.
The Anything Goes portion of the prize was introduced in last year’s Hackaday Prize. We didn’t want to exclude anyone building something awesome just because it didn’t fit a theme, so we created a challenge anyone could meet. The results last year were phenomenal, with twenty projects each winning a thousand dollars and progressing onto the final round of the Hackaday Prize. Winners last year included an Open Source Two-Stroke Diesel, a beautiful Diode Clock, and Dtto, a modular robot that went on to win the Grand Prize. Do you see a common theme between these projects? There isn’t one. The Anything Goes portion of the prize is a challenge to build the coolest thing.
This entry round is going on right now and ends October 16th. It’s the last chance for any project to make it to the final round with a potential to take home the Grand Prize of $50,000 USD.
Get those project logs in, and start making a video. Be sure you answer the final call to get in on the 2017 Hackaday Prize.
Wonderful. I get to try my “rules the world” entry. *evil laugh*
Start small, first conquer the Tri-State Area!
I’ve recently googled that term, which tri-state area do you mean?

You’re upside down. #VK
Actually, it’s those on the other side of the equator that are up side down. :-)
I like the way HaD is handling the HaD prize these days. It used to be every other post here was about some sort of HaD “prize” contest. Now the level of contest stuff is tolerable. Perhaps because HaD is dong a combination of deeper Web searches for content, plus more original content. Anyway, IMHO HaD is looking better these days.
I’m in… as someone else commented before me… love the art, too :) those must be some strong dang quadcopters.
