Victorian-era fashion is so in this year

Today we are excited to announce the SparkFun "Electrify Your Prom" Contest!

In this competition, we're inviting you to use electronics to make your prom outfit truly one-of-a-kind. Whether it's a light up corsage or an EL-wire trimmed lapel, the only limit is your imagination! The contest will work like this:

  • All entries must be a photograph of finished project (videos are encouraged, with demo of the project in action!)
  • You must include a photograph of technology used, clearly labeled with parts listed
