Projects will be returned once the winning entry is photographed. In the event of logistical problems in sending your completed project to us, special arrangements can be made among Circuit Cellar , Atmel, and the winner as a follow-up alternative. If the project is published as a separate article in Circuit Cellar, Circuit Cellar Online , or any other Circuit Cellar publication, the contestant will be paid at standard Circuit Cellar Press remuneration. Contest judges have been chosen based on their familiarity with engineering design, component familiarity, and experience. Winners will be chosen based on all of the criteria given.
All decisions made by the judges are final.
Entries are eligible for an award in a single category only. No checks or prizes will be issued to U.S. residents until a Social Security number is submitted. All winners will be notified in September of 2001, as well as featured in the December 2001 issue of Circuit Cellar . All contestants are invited to submit their design write-ups for future Circuit Cellar articles. Contest rules are subject to change.
