Participants picked one of five categories for their submissions: DIY Deployments, Maintainer Must-Haves, Phone-Friendly, Interesting IoT, or Wacky Wildcards.

For the DEV sticker pack, you would have received an email from the DEV team. You would have also received an email from the GitHub team (ie. me 😉 ) on the 5th January regarding your prize.
