Innovation Challenge Entry - Hobbyist Division

Entry fee for the Hobbyist division of the Cortez Makerspace Innovation Challenge (entries August 3 - September 6, 2026). First prize: $1,000 plus a full year of makerspace membership, and your work stays yours.
Every entry includes exhibition in the online gallery, a professional photo by our media team, and awards-night floor space for finalists (a booth at the awards night). Same exhibition and voting as Open, with its own finalists: the everyone-can-play door.
Supplies are not included: entrants provide their own materials. One entry per maker or team. After checkout, our team contacts you for your project details (maker or team name, category, project description).
