Your Challenge, Your Way
Everything is customizable. Create a unique challenge – from timeline and format to submission definition and judging – designed to deliver on your objectives.

Whether you’re giving participants 24 hours or 24 months to work on one or ten challenge themes, delivering submissions that are live pitches, code-repos or business proposals – if you can imagine it, you can run it on our platform.
IN-PERSON, VIRTUAL OR HYBRID
Organize your virtual challenge and connect participants on Zoom, Teams, WebEx and through our multi-chat or in-person and benefit from our intuitive, mobile and tablet friendly registration system.
YOUR CHALLENGE PAGE
Your participants can find all the details they need to know before they sign up. It’s a place to host your participant resources like embedded videos, linked data and on-demand or live programming like webinars and workshops.
