Get started

 

  1. Form a team (1 to 4 people) or register solo.
  2. Brainstorm your idea early. If you want feedback before the event, email us.
  3. Don't hesitate to ask for help.
  4. Submit your project before the deadline with a short demo video (optional) and a link to your repo.

Requirements

What to Build

Build a working tool, script, or application that automates some part of the creator workflow. This can be a standalone tool, a browser extension, a bot, a dashboard, or a script, as long as it does real work and not just a mockup or slide deck. Your project should:

  • Solve a genuine pain point in the content pipeline (uploading, editing, scheduling, analytics, SEO, moderation, captioning, thumbnails, etc.)
  • Actually run and produce a real result. A UI is a bonus, but a working script counts
  • If it uses an external API, stay within its terms of service and rate limits
  • Be built during the hackathon window (you can plan and design beforehand, but code should be written during the event)

Solo projects and team projects (up to 4 people) are both welcome.

Judging Criteria

  • Functionality (30%)
    Does the tool actually work? Does it do what it claims to do, reliably?
  • Creativity (20%)
    How original or clever is the approach to the problem? Bonus points for tackling a pain point that isn't already well solved.
  • Technical execution (20%)
    Quality of the code, thoughtfulness of the architecture, and how well the team used their tools and time.
  • Real world usefulness (30%)
    Would an actual creator or editor want to use this? Does it save meaningful time or effort?
