It's to create wirelessly powered devices using IDT’s wireless power reference kits for creative market applications. The companies have invited electronics experts and hobbyists to find creative ways to incorporate wireless charging capability into products using IDT’s 5W kits.
Sponsored by global components distributor Digi-Key Electronics, the theme of the contest is, ‘Power Without Borders’.
Interested? Judges will be looking for designs that demonstrate the advantages of wireless charging, such as convenience, the ability to develop a waterproof charging system, or the elimination of failure-prone charging contacts.
The deadline for submitting designs is 31 December and the winners will be announced on 15 February 2016.
The winner will receive a Samsung Galaxy Note 5 or Galaxy S6 edge+, plus a Gear S2 Smart Watch. Second and Third place winners also will receive Samsung products featuring wireless charging enabled by IDT chips.
The contest will be hosted by the hardware creation community, hackster.io at

“IDT’s wireless power kits dramatically simplify integrating wireless charging capabilities into an existing design - so much so that even engineers without specific power design expertise can create a functioning prototype within hours,” said David Sandys, Digi-Key director of technical and strategic marketing.
“These kits were developed for the mass market,” said Mario Montana, IDT vice-president and chief sales officer. “With this contest, we’re asking today’s innovators from around the world to unleash their creativity and develop entirely new sets of applications that can be wirelessly powered, whether it’s an electric shaver, one of your kid’s toys, or even a battery-operated back-scratcher. Your imagination is the limit.”
