This online competition is open to creatives, developers, strategists, technologists, and builders from anywhere in the world. Teams will respond to an online brief and build a working solution for a real challenge at the intersection of advertising, creativity, technology, and automation. No coding experience needed! We're looking for ideas that can move beyond concept and become useful, scalable solutions for brands. Modern development approaches are encouraged, including AI-generated code and open-source technologies.

Winning teams will be eligible to receive a prize up to a $500,000 to fund their solution and a real path for their solution to be used by leading brands.
