Build something cool using AI...win $250 💵


We're hosting a contest!

Build something cool using AI...win $250 💵 and get entered to win a grand prize of $500 💵 (awarded in December).

The first round is open now until October 15.

Your creation could be anything from a practical app that simplifies daily tasks to an art piece that merges human imagination with AI capabilities. The possibilities are limited only by your imagination! 🤯

Check our blog post for more details, and watch a sample entry from our Founder, Chris Schultz.

To spark ideas, here are some examples of what you could build:

  1. An AI music composer: Let users create original music by providing lyrics, musical styles, moods, etc., and generate unique songs using deep learning. You could also experiment with AI-generated vocals.
  2. An AI cartoonist: Turn rough doodles into polished cartoons and comics using neural style transfer and other generative techniques.
  3. A dog breed generator: Create new fictional breeds via AI image generation.
  4. Family portrait: Turn family photos into famous painting styles like Van Gogh's Starry Night using neural style transfer.

Anything you build is eligible, so long as AI is involved in a meaningful way. Projects will be judged on utility, innovativeness, demo quality, and difficulty level.

Show us what you can create with artificial intelligence. We can't wait to see what you come up with!

Rules, how to enter, judging criteria, and prize info can all be found here!

Send us your questions and submissions ASAP!
