element14 Community launches 2025 Halloween design competition
Annual competition invites makers and engineers to build Halloween-themed electronics projects for prizes
element14 Community has launched its annual Halloween design competition, inviting engineers, makers, and electronics enthusiasts to develop innovative Halloween-themed projects. The competition has become a tradition within the community, providing a platform for participants of all experience levels to showcase their creativity and technical skills.
This year’s challenge encourages participants to design and build projects that capture the spirit of Halloween using electronic components. Example submissions could include electronic decorations, zombie defenses, automatic spooking machines, or wearable electronic costumes and props.
The competition will award prizes across multiple categories, including one first-place winner, three second-place winners, and three runner-up winners. Each winning participant will be able to select from a curated set of prize options.
“Each year, our Halloween competition highlights the ingenuity of the element14 Community,” Andreea Teodorescu, Global Director of Product Marketing & element14 community. “It is an opportunity for makers and engineers to share ideas, learn from one another, and celebrate their passion for electronics in a unique and engaging way.”
To qualify, participants must submit a project write-up detailing their design and build process by 9 November 2025. Submissions should be made directly on the official competition page.
The competition is open to both new and long-standing community members, with a focus on creativity, effort, and knowledge-sharing.
