Who says D.C. isn’t creative?

We at Technical.ly cover tech-driven businesses every day, but we love a good side project. They bring joy and awe and wonder to the vast hellscape that is the modern-day internet.
We also love a good contest, so we’ve created a quick poll to celebrate the best work of fun-loving D.C. technologists.
Vote now
We’ll be accepting votes until 6 p.m. on Monday, Sept. 26 and we’ll be sure to let you know who won.
To re-familiarize yourself with the 14 nominees, here’s a look at some of our past coverage:
