Is your project on track?

Two weeks are left to enter your submission to the Build the World with Dolby.io Hackathon. Submissions are due November 29, 2021 before 2:00 pm PT. 

If you haven't started a submission yet, please do so now. And if you've just recently joined the challenge, explore the Thought Starters and Resources for more info to help you get started. 

WHAT TO BUILD:

As we slowly get back to work and play, we want you to rethink and re-envision new hybrid meta spaces where your app users can work, collaborate and play.  Use your imagination!  Create innovative and new hybrid communication experiences featuring Dolby.io Communications APIs.  

WHAT TO SUBMIT: 

  1. Build to our Theme: Build and host an amazing and functional app that explores what it is like to meet and communicate based on our geospatial location theme.
  2. Use our APIs: Your app entry must use the Dolby.io Communications APIs. 
  3. Choose your Preferred Stack: While we're encouraging developers to create web apps, there are no restrictions on which stack you choose to develop your application in.
  4. Host your App: If you build a web-based app, you can easily and securely host your web app with our sponsorship partner, Netlify. They've made it simple with one-click templates to get your app up and running fast or feel free to host it elsewhere.  Note: Native app developers will need to submit a TestFlight or APK to DolbyioHackathon@dolby.com
  5. Pitch your App Create and submit a 3-minute video pitch that demonstrates the app concept and functionality.  This can be as simple or as extravagant as you like - what's important is that you accurately show the value and functionality of your app.
  6. Show us the Code: To fairly judge each entry, we will review your original code and require access to your application's code repository.  Whether that code repo is public or private is up to you; Just follow the detailed instructions provided when you sign up for the hackathon competition. 
  7. Sign up and form your teamTo be eligible, all participants must signup, complete, and submit their entry on the Devpost platform.  Individuals and teams are welcome to participate; When forming a team, select one person to be the team's primary contact. 

Be sure to check the requirements once more. Or better yet, have a friend or colleague provide a second pair of eyes to make sure you didn’t miss anything.
