Finalists Announced on or around 8/8
Your project adds new capabilities to older electrical gear to keep it useful.
Just because there’s a newer version of something doesn’t mean the old model should get left in the dust. Sometimes all it takes are some components, a little know-how, and a pinch of patience to turn an outdated piece of gear into something useful. This challenge tasks the community with adding new capabilities to old hardware, or to bring something broken back from the brink and make it functional again.
This could look like:
- New screens hacked on to old oscilloscopes
- Old blender motor turned into a dremel-like tool
- Epic hardware repairs

Hello everyone, I received an email today with the following information, is this a scam?
Your project "Spring-Driven Digital Movie Camera" has won a Finalist Award ($500) in the 2022 Hackaday Prize Challenge 03: Hack it Back.
Unfortunately, there was a miscommunication in the communication of the Challenge 3 announcement article and your project is not listed there, but it will be in all future press and featured on all of Hackaday's social media platforms. We deeply apologize for this mistake.

hello everyone, I made a mistake, I wanted to sign up for challenge 4 which should start today, but by mistake I signed up for challenge 3, how can I solve it?
Are you sure? yes | no
Hi @Sergio Ghirardelli - if you make a project Private on the Edit project page, it will be removed from all lists you submitted it to. You can make it public afterward and then submit it again.

Hello, I received the advice from a reader (with hackaday email) to submit my project "Oscilloscope as text display" to this contest. I have my full project on-line an then I tried to add it to the contest. I clicked the orange box, then on the drop down menu I selected "hack it back" and a new orange button appeared, with the submit. I clicket that, but all the screen was grayed and also a gray box appeared with "submit your project to hackaday prize" and nothing more. I waited a bit, then I wrote an email to the mailbox that the friend sent with the message, but I received "not delivered" from gmail (and also was classified as spam). I don't think I can win a prize, but I would like to try... Why not?
Are you sure? yes | no
same to me : what does the popup message "Please submit your project to The Hackaday Prize" mean?
Are you sure? yes | no
Hello. I think that something is going wrong or you must create a new page and then apply (but this would be very unpractical, having your project finished) or the submissions are too much for such contest. We need help from one that known "how it works" for direct experience...
Are you sure? yes | no
Tried also adding a brand new project using the contest "Start your Entry" button - still getting the "Please submit your project to The Hackaday Prize" popup...
Are you sure? yes | no
Got it - you have to submit to the "Supplyframe DesignLab: 2022 Hackaday Prize". It'll give you the "hack it back" choice by default (the last and only open one)
Are you sure? yes | no
Many thanks, Fabio! I followed your suggestion and also got the result. No hope to win, just the pleasure to share a (very) old project. See you
Are you sure? yes | no
Steven, create a project and once you are ready, press "Submit to..." the contest you want to enter.
Are you sure? yes | no
So how do I enter?
Are you sure? yes | no
