First Prize – juiced by the sun or by hand, a Freeplay Eyemax Radio.
This sharp looking self-sufficient am/fm radio can be powered via its solar panel or hand-crank. When fully charged this baby will give you 25 hours of playtime at normal volume.

Also sports a built-in LED flashlight and a ‘high performance’ speaker. I like the fact that you can see its internal organs. ($59 plus free shipping anywhere in the U.S.)

Second Prize – a unique and sleek BoGo Solar LED Flashlight.
Save on batteries, and impress your friends when you whip-out this eye-catching solar badboy. Six ultra-bright LEDs give this flashlight its luminous punch. Fully charged after 10 hours of basking in the sun, this light will give you 6 to 8 hours of much needed illumination and 4,500 hours of light over its lifetime. A nightglow strip helps you locate the BoGo on the darkest of nights and its hard ABS plastic exterior provides high levels of shock and water resistance. ($39 plus free shipping anywhere in the U.S.)
