Hackaday Prize - Ladyada!
http://hackaday.io/prize

ChipWhisperer - The Chip Whisperer is a great entry for a contest run by "Hack-a-Day" - an intense amount of care & engineering went into this project and you can tell that the maker spared no expense to make a powerful chip hacking/analysis tool. The chip whisperer is the one "Magical project" I would want to own and play with, and I expect to see the output of this project appear on hack-a-day for a very long time.

SatNOGS - I really love this project. First because its a great collaboration between a group of people, as well as being the most 'on theme' project. It's about SPACE! for a SPACE THEMED CONTEST! How can you not love it? It also is the most connected project, using the internet to listen to satellite communication. This project makes me wish I had roof access

RamanPi - This project has a huge 'wow' factor for it - with a great combination of all the hottest maker technologies: Pi single board computer, sensors, software, internet-of-things, 3d printing, optics and science! I really dig it when hacking and science get together, and being that it is open source, this project will probably be built by students for years to come!

PortableSDR - This project is one that I think the most number of people who need connectivity could use, and brings the venerable HAM radio hobby into the new century. The enclosure and TFT display makes it stand out as a very 'finished' design, and at the same time, it is open-ended enought that it will take off with great hacks and mods once the kits are out in the community.

Arducorder - The Arducorder is one of those projects that you may think "its just a bunch of sensor breakout boards, what's the big deal here?" but really shows how integrating the various sensors out there into a handheld device makes for a polished project. It's also the one that would be the most useful to actually *use in space*! The touchwheel and display UI are easy to use for non-hackers, something that most geeks skip over when building sensor-monitoring systems. The direct-to-plotly graphing is powerful and done well.
