Hello ITP,
I am contacting your regarding our annual Innovation Contest. This contest will be a great opportunity for your hackerspace to exhibit your very innovative projects. If your team has any projects that incorporate bearings in their installation, then those projects are eligible to participate in the contest. I am sure your hackerspace has amazing mechanical projects that are fascinating and we would love to have them participate in our contest. There is no cost to submit, but we would like to launch the contest with a few project pre-loaded.
We had a tremendous response to our last contest in 2012, everything from stroboscopic zoetropes to human powered helicopters were submitted and you can see the winners here:

Our goal in running this contest is to support the students, engineers, garage tinkerers and workshop warriors who are out there melding Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Math. Our 2014 contest is starting this August and will run through December.
We will be giving away three GoPro Hero3 cameras, one each to the project with the most votes each month. At the end two finalists each will get a 3D printer and the grand prize winner will get a check for $5,000. We would love to have you among our contestants. If your team would be interested in participating in the contest just email me back and I can help you get signed up early or please let me know if you have any questions. Thank you.
