Pitch competition

Pick a problem to solve.

Build a project that solves one of these. A general prompt is open to anyone. A region-specific one is for applicants in that area, tied to the sponsor funding it.

This round’s problems aren’t posted yet.

We pick the prompts cohort by cohort, with our sponsors. They go up here before the apply-by date. Check back, or read how the competition works while you wait.
