Looking for a competition win to add to your resume? Maybe you just want some bragging rights?

This blog has featured distributor design contests before and now I have the pleasure of showcasing one of our own.

EDN recently launched  its "Iron Circuit Designer Contest" and has invited engineers and techies alike to show off their circuit design skills. The winning designer claims the title of EDN's first-ever Iron Circuit Designer, will have their circuit featured in EDN magazine and on EDN.com, and will receive a $500 American Express gift card.

Here's the challenge: Design a low-power wireless circuit that employs at least three sensors of your choice, including at least three components from an approved parts list. The design should focus on the analog portion of the circuit.

Completed designs need to be submitted by April 15. On May 1, our team of judges will announce three finalists. EDN readers will then vote online for their favorite design, with voting closing May 15.
The Iron Circuit Designer Contest grand prize winner and runners-up will be announced on June 1.

Second place takes home a Garmin Nuvi 265T GPS and third place takes a Flip Video Ultra Series camcorder. Additional prizes will also be randomly awarded to contest participants, both designers and voters.

Check out our Iron Circuit Designer Web site for registration information and contest details.  Good luck, folks!
