Just curious, are quarter slots for ChipIgnite still being awarded as prizes for Chipalooza?

Yes, for those who made it to the test chip tapeout in April and a handful of additional projects that were ready for a June tapeout (although that chip is going to tape out late). Your project is on both and yes, you get your quarter slot.
Note that Efabless just announced a quarter-Caravel offering which is not what this is, because that one is digital only (unless you want to do something digital only, which is perfectly fine, although we are expecting the most analog designers are going to want to do something analog). So I will be doing the integration of quarter slots, and since it's all going to be manually done, it will be both less formalized and more flexible.

Integrated chips with projects on quarter slots will go out on chipIgnite runs as needed, and if I have fewer than four projects ready for any given chipIgnite run, I'm just going to drop down additional break-out versions of circuits that are on the next-generation Caravel chip. So whenever anyone has a quarter-area project ready to go, it will go out on the next available shuttle run.
