Build apps with Genie Builder on JuliaHub and win cash prizes!
Are you passionate about Julia and interested in sharing your technical innovations with a broader audience? If you've ever been inspired to create an intuitive and interactive dashboard, or a graphical interface for your Julia app or package, this is your chance to shine!
We're announcing a competition hosted by JuliaHub to spotlight the most innovative web applications developed with Genie Framework's Genie Builder. The competition will take place between June 20th and August 31st, 2024, and you'll have the opportunity to win these prizes:
To enter the competition, you'll need to create a new account on JuliaHub and develop your application on the platform using Genie Builder. To get started, see the Genie Builder on JuliaHub usage guide.
You can also develop locally by installing the Genie Builder extension from the VSCode marketplace. If you’re a student or professor at a university, you can also request a free EDU license for Genie Builder. Once you’re done with development, deploy your app on JuliaHub to make it eligible for the competition

SUBMISSION PROCESS
Once you've crafted your app, make sure to deploy it in either preview mode or a full deployment. Take a screenshot if you do not want to keep the app live. If you do want to keep the app live, you can also send us the URL of the app. To submit for the competition, submit it via this form .
Please make sure that when you create the project (collaborators/permissions) that it is public for all to view so that the links you send are viewable. Example:
The deadline for submissions is midnight GMT on August 31st.
We'll announce the winners some days after we have reviewed all the submissions. Note that only one submission per team or individual is allowed.
In terms of topic or scope, we primarily care about apps that solve problems. Some users submit apps that are a companion their conference or JuliaCon talk, others might show a compelling usage example for their favorite Julia package, or some cool visualization using real-world data.
A committee will judge entries based on:
