Hey everyone, 
 
We're thrilled to announce a contest focused on custom containers! 
 
Custom containers have been a hot topic on our forum, and we love seeing the enthusiasm and creativity from all of you. This contest is a fantastic opportunity to showcase your skills and collaborate with fellow developers. 
 
To make things easier, we've put together some educational videos on how to create custom containers. Be sure to check them out on our YouTube channel for all the tips and tricks you need to get started. 
 
You can find the terms and conditions, as well as the registration form, here. Please review them before you start developing your container to ensure it meets the contest rules. 
 
No contest is complete without amazing prizes. You have the chance to win a STM32U5G9J-DK2 board (valued at $73.50) or a NUCLEO-H563ZI board and a RVA35HI display (total value $66.82), shipped directly to you. 
 
Even better, the contest is open to everyone with an ST community account and is completely free to enter! Plus, each participant can submit up to three projects, so let your creativity run wild. 
 
Mark your calendars! The submission period starts on March 18 at 12:00 a.m. GMT and ends on May 2 at 12:00 a.m. GMT. Be sure to submit your projects within this timeframe to be considered. 
 
We can't wait to see your amazing creations! Let's come together, share our ideas, and support each other. This contest is all about the collaborative spirit that makes our community so special. 
 
Happy coding, and may the best container win!

I tried to register but I cannot complete the registration form.
The field "Github repository to the custom container" is mandatory, but of course I have not made it yet!
I'd like to register but I don't have anything to submit yet.

1. Is there a dedicated registration form or is the registration form the same as the submission form?
2. Is there a limit to the number of submissions? Can I create 2 containers?

Hello @unsigned_char_array ,

Thank you for your interest to the contest! 
There is only one form which is used as submission form. Registration is automatic as soon you complete le submission form. And yes, you need to put a link to your GitHub repository. Please read the rules carefully as we mention in it that you can submit up to 3 custom containers :)

Ok. If I have more than one submission do they all need to be in the same github repo or can they be 2/3 separate repos? Can I submit more repo URLs in the submission form, or do I do 2/3 separate submissions?

[Osman SOYKURT]

1 submission = 1 repo
So if you have multiple containers to submit, make sure they all have a different GitHub URL, and then you can do another submission through the form :)

Hello everyone,

Quick reminder: the TouchGFX contest is still running, and we have decided to extend the project submission deadline by 2 extra weeks for the most creative among you! ;)

The new last submission date is now May 2 at 12:00 a.m. GMT.

Good luck to everyone, and most importantly, have fun while coding for this contest!

Best regards,

The TouchGFX Team

I might suppose a gi hub is needed for the coding. I'm not that far yet, just trying to advance from AVR!

[Osman SOYKURT]

Hello @CurtislikestorideBicycles ,

Only a text editor and TouchGFX Designer is needed for coding your custom container :)
GitHub is used to share your work with us.

Best regards,

[Osman SOYKURT]

Hi everyone,

There are only a few days left to grab your chance to win amazing prizes! Don't forget to submit your custom container by May 2 at 12:00 a.m. GMT.

I was able to submit 1 project before the deadline. But I wish I had more time to fine-tune it. I also had several other ideas for widgets. There just wasn't enough time and I was busy (bought a house, little one on the way...). I hope there is going to be another contest in the future so I can enter again.

[Osman SOYKURT]

Hello @unsigned_char_array ,

First of all, congratulation for your little one on the way, and the house! 
Secondly, we appreciate your feedback. We'll conduct a brief survey about the contest in few days about what went well and what went wrong. You'll be more than welcomed to answer to it :)

Best regards,
