How secure are these technologies and how can they can be beaten? The goal of this contest is to test your skills against these technologies, particularly tamper-evident or “tamper-proof” containers, adhesives, and mechanical or electronic seals.

More information and sign-up instructions are available on the Contest Page. Remember, this contest has extremely limited space. Sign up early to make sure your team gets to play. Looking forward to all the crazy stuff the teams bring this year!
