Media Party invites media professionals and enthusiasts to participate in its classic Hackathon: a collaborative experience in multidisciplinary teams aiming to revolutionize the media industry with innovative solutions, proposals, and products.
The central theme of this year’s Media Party is Artificial Intelligence and the importance of understanding and applying this vast field across three key aspects: ethics, security, and privacy. Along these lines, the Hackathon encourages the creation of media solutions using AI, though any project focused on media innovation is welcome.
How the Hackathon Works
General Terms and Conditions:
In order to participate, you need to be registered for Media Party, and it’s important that you take the time to read through our terms and conditions.
Pre-event:
On Friday, October 6th, we will be hosting a gathering with the mentors who will be supporting the teams. It’s a chance to present and refine project proposals for the Hackathon. If you’re unable to attend the pre-event, no worries! We’ll be expecting you on Saturday.
Hackathon:
Are you ready to create and showcase an innovative prototype in just one day? The hackathon kicks off on Saturday, October 7th, at 11 am. This is when the project presentations begin, and they must be uploaded to Hackdash, a platform created during a previous Hackathon to track ideas. After that, we’ll form multidisciplinary teams. Our mentors will be there to guide you, ensuring that everyone finds a way to contribute. Following an intense and inspiring day of work, at — pm, projects will be presented to a jury composed of members from ICFJ, MDIF, Hacks Hackers, Hugging Face, and other esteemed organizations. They will be competing for the $5,000 USD prize. By the end of the day, we’ll announce the top 3 selected projects.
What comes next?
The Hackathon is just the beginning. We understand the importance of providing ongoing support to the projects so they can flourish. That’s why the three leading projects will continue their journey with the assistance of our partners, fostering long-term growth and establishing lasting relationships.
