They have been chosen among the 15 shortlisted contestants who submitted unique versions of the karaoke machine. The contestants used the Raspberry Pi and its accessories to create a state-of-the-art karaoke experience. Contestants were judged on their creativity and the quality of engagement during the course of their projects through blog posts, videos and designs, including photos and diagrams. The Grand Prize winner received an Apple iPhone 5S and the runner up received a Sony PlayStation 4.
