Miro’s infinite canvas empowers more than 20M users to brainstorm, map ideas, build a plan, and generally just work — whether they are sitting at the same conference table or collaborating across continents. This challenge offers you the opportunity to build integrations that could improve the workday for millions of people. You can aim to make something for the everyday user, or to create an integration that an enterprise could install for every employee. We welcome your creativity, and we look forward to seeing what you will do.

During the event, you’ll be using a developer preview of the Miro platform. We’ll have a getting-started guide for participants to browse once the event begins.

We understand that a developer preview may introduce some unexpected challenges. So we will have a team of mentors available for office hours during the following times. In addition, we may have bonus support late at night or early in the morning, and we will be sure to post those extra times as they come up.

Office Hours (UTC+2):

Friday, Nov 19:

5pm-11pm

11pm-1am (late-night support)

Saturday, Nov 20:

9am-6pm

7pm-10pm

10pm-1am (late-night support)

‍

Feel free to reach out to our team of mentors for support— whether you encounter a technical issue or whether you just need to clarify an idea you have.

Prizes will be awarded for the top 3 submissions. These three teams will receive a monetary award, as noted below. 

First Place team – €2500

Second Place team – €1500 

Third Place team – €1000 

In addition, each member of a winning team will receive a Miro merch pack.

We will be assessing all submissions across the following 3 criteria:

1. Technical excellence – how you use the Miro platform
2. Impact on the user – how your solution helps a user build the next big thing
3. Solve a real problem – be sure to clearly state which problem you decided to tackle and how your solution addresses it. You get to define your own problem here, and we encourage you to pick anything that interests you, whether it be small and mundane (like saving a person two minutes of time every Monday morning), or large and ambitious (like replacing the entire transportation system with teleportation).

Bonus points may be awarded for solutions that fit well with Miro’s 4 values.
