“I’m excited about the winners for this challenge,” said Samantha Quell, Polaris Product Manager. “I’ve heard requests for all three previously and I’m glad to see the ‘It Bugs Me’ challenge theme gave them another chance at selection.”

Remember, submissions live on in Idea Lab and our Always Open Space never closes. If you submitted an enhancement that is still important to you or you’ve just discovered a development opportunity, the Always Open space provides a place to post that idea for any Polaris product.
