The Digital Open has received an overwhelmingly positive response from around the world, receiving 82 projects from more than a dozen countries!

By popular demand, the Digital Open Bonus Round—beginning today—gives existing and new entrants an extra 12 days to develop and polish their projects. Our stewards and the Digital Open team are going to ramp up our comments and interactions with contestants, to help you make your projects as strong as possible for the judges. During these extra couple of weeks, we also encourage you to submit any and all new projects you might have, or even form new collaborations with other participants.

August 27 will be the final deadline for project submissions, and winners will be announced in October with the public release of Boing Boing Video's profiles of the winning projects.
