Sign up to receive updates.
Does your project showcase Microchip components?
If so, you could be eligible to enter the Microchip Get Launched electronics design program! We make great electronic components and we’re looking for equally great examples of how they’re enabling new, innovative products in the real world.
Prizes
While designing, funding, manufacturing, and shipping a new product to happy customers is a reward unto itself, it can’t hurt to have some extra incentives along the way. Microchip is partnering with Mouser Electronics and Crowd Supply to offer participants a wide array of support. Special prizes for select entries will be announced.
Support package for all entries
- Promotion across Microchip, Mouser, and Crowd Supply channels
- Reduced-price parts for initial production run
- Your choice of Microchip development board:
Free pass to the Teardown 2020 conference
Reduced Crowd Supply campaign fee
Technical and marketing review consultations
Schedule
Entries can complete their 30-day Crowd Supply campaign anytime in 2020. However, entries that launch their Crowd Supply campaigns by Teardown (June 19-21, 2020) will be eligible for special promotion and involvement during Teardown 2020.
Eligibility
To be eligible to enter this design competition, your project must:
- Uniquely showcase one or (preferably!) more Microchip components
- Pass the rigorous vetting process applied to all Crowd Supply projects
Projects are free to showcase any components in the Microchip family. Eligibility is determined on a case-by-case basis and solely at the discretion of Microchip and Crowd Supply.
How to Enter
The first step is to fill out the Crowd Supply project submission form and mention that you’re interested in the Microchip Get Launched 2019 design competition.
