It's all fun and games until someone wins an epic prize.

Exciting news for people with ideas: SparkFun and the creators of the Blynk app have partnered with our friends at Hackster to sponsor the "IoT For Everyone" contest. The contest is based around the SparkFun ESP8266 Blynk Board – a compact, powerful platform, specially designed to work with the ‘widgets’ in the Blynk mobile app to create your next IoT project.
