Announcing Our New Monthly Content Contest!

UPDATE! We're expanding the monthly contest to include ALL forms of content, including blog posts, tutorials and videos, in addition to templates. 


For the last two years, we have worked to create a fun and engaging Hacktoberfest event that allows people to submit community templates across a number of categories. Things have gone well, but many people have asked if we could do something like that more often. It sounds like a great idea, so we've been thinking about making it workable.

Great news - starting this January, we're rolling out a contest for the best community template, and guess what? It's not just for a month or two – we're talking all year long! That's right, instead of waiting for Hacktoberfest, you can now take part in a community template contest every month.

Why You Should Get Pumped Up!

Our goals are simple yet ambitious:

  • Boost Awareness & Usage: We want more eyes and hands on our amazing platform. 
  • Quality Template Expansion: Let's fill our community library with top-notch templates.
  • Spotlight on Themes & Partners: Each month, we'll focus on specific topics, partners, and cool, new features.
  • Promote Our Community Experts: Ultimately, the goal is to highlight and share the best of what our community has to offer... and that means you!

How Will the Winning Template be Chosen?

Your template will shine under the spotlight of:

  • Stars: Those little stars on your templates aren't just for show – they count!
  • Community Engagement: Comments and other forms of recognition matter.
  • Overall Quality: We're looking for the crème de la crème.
  • Our DevRel Team's Seal of Approval: They have the final say, but don't worry, they're super cool!

What's in it for You?

Ah, the sweet part – the Prizes! 🏆

  • Swag Galore: Think stylish shirts, cool hats, and snazzy stickers.
  • Spotlight in Our Newsletter & Social Media: Fame, glory, and bragging rights.

A Peek at the Schedule

To keep things spicy, we're mixing it up every month. Topics will include:

  • Platform Partners: Shining a light on our awesome partners like Supabase, N8N, Neon, and more.
  • Product Features: Showcasing our coolest and hottest features like AI integrations and custom widgets.
  • 'Fun' Stuff: Unleash your creativity and think outside the box - not everything has to be about work.

So, what are you waiting for? Start brainstorming, coding, and creating! We can't wait to see the amazing templates you come up with. Let the creativity flow and may the best template win!
