STM32 Edge AI Contest deadline extended
The extension for the STM32 Edge AI Contest means more breathing room to refine your hardware design, fine-tune your AI models, and perfect your documentation and presentation. If you’ve been wrestling with last-minute tweaks or ambitious additions, that extra month could be a game-changer. Don't forget: €5,000 in cash prizes are up for grabs!

Details: STM32 Edge AI Contest 

This extension is more than just calendar reshuffling. It’s a deliberate move to support creativity and innovation. With €5,000 in prizes on the line, participants now have extra time to elevate their work, whether it’s refining Edge AI models, enhancing user interfaces, or improving documentation and schematics.

Here's a quick recap of the key dates for the STM32 Edge AI Contest:
 
  • New deadline for final entries: 1 October 2025 (was 1 September)
  • Nominees will be announced: 31 October 2025 (was 30 September) 
  • Grand winner announcement: expected November 2025 

If you’ve already submitted your project idea or secured an STM32N6 board, this extension offers a golden opportunity to iterate. And if you’re still conceptualizing, there's now even more justification to dive in. This contest offers a real stage for your Edge AI vision to shine.

How to Submit

Don’t let the extended deadlines lull you into complacency. It’s an invitation to push harder. Sharpen your prototypes, polish your presentation, and get ready to submit by 1 October. With that extra month, your project could leap from promising to prize-winning.
