Winners Announcement

Flexibility, programmability, affordability, and applicability—these are the ties that bind the various members of the Atmel AVR microcontroller family. Last winter, designers learned this firsthand as they began short-listing parts for use in projects destined for entry in the Atmel AVR 2004 Design Contest. For many of the eager entrants, the hardest part of the contest turned out to be deciding which first-rate AVR part was the best option for their designs. Just ask Michal Sieluzycki, whose Color TFT LCD Controller won him the Grand Prize. Like several other entrants, he was so impressed with the various members of the AVR family that he actually put two of them to work in his prize-winning design.

Scores of other designers also found the right parts to create solid designs. The result was a stack of entries that kept the judges busy straight through the summer. The fierce competition left 12 exemplary projects at the top. Congratulations to all of the winners!
