IMHO, the original prototype you made for yourself - if still in 
existence as such - should qualify.
The fact that it was a success and became a commercial product does 
not take anything away from your original project and might even be 
considered prove for award-winning qualities.
Of course anything thereafter, made on serial production PCB's, 
should only be allowed for entry by someone else who used it as a 
basis for his own original interpretation of the concept.

Does that sound reasonable?
