Dear makers: You have 3 days left to submit your project for a chance to win $20,000!
If you have a sweet pre-crowdfunding hardware project and haven't entered our Insert Coin: New Challengers contest yet, what are you waiting for? You only have until midnight EST this Friday, February 8th to get your entry in! Head on down to our submission form (and be sure to read the full legalese to make sure your project is eligible).
You could win $20,000 at Expand, a review on Engadget and a nice promotional boost before you begin a crowdfunding campaign. One additional Reader's Choice Winner will receive $5,000 and an Engadget review. Ten semi-finalists will get exhibit space on our show floor and $1,000 to help them travel to San Francisco this March 16-17, and five finalists will also get a chance to demo their products live on stage to the in-person audience as well as the livestream viewers.
If you don't qualify for our Insert Coin contest but still want to get your sweet product in front of the eyes of the Expand audience of early adopters and tech enthusiasts, we have very affordable sponsorship opportunities available. You can sign up for an Indie Corner table right here, and please give us a shout at sponsors [at] engadget [dot] com with any questions about participating in our exhibition hall.
