First and foremost, we would like to extend a massive thank you to all of our Genesis Hackathon and Design Challenge participants for being a part of this amazing experience! Many of you answered the call to compete in these highly competitive challenges, and have shown us what our community is truly capable of. We’ve never been more ambitious about the future of the Upland ecosystem! With so many talented community members, we can’t wait to see how they put their skills to work to make the metaverse an amazing place. So, without further ado, let’s review the results.

The competition was stiff, and some tough decisions were made in deciding which teams advanced to the final round. We highly encourage all participants to pursue their projects regardless of the outcome of this Hackathon. Many of you are very talented, and we would love to see your products come to life. 

‍

Finally, we would like to take this opportunity to invite all participants to apply for the Upland Developers Network; an official Upland community dedicated to developers who are looking for opportunities to build on the Upland Platform.

Thank you all once again for such a tremendous competition, we look forward to many more opportunities for you all to build for the Upland ecosystem. Until next time…
