You can not submit someone else's design, we will know if you steal it from thingiverse and would be grounds for disqualification. You are welcome to take inspiration from existing things (after all everything's been made before).

There must be a display included in the design(LED blinking out morse code or binary would qualify). The rest is up to you, do us proud.
