Genesis Hackathon and Design Challenge are LIVE!

We’re incredibly excited to celebrate the launch of Upland’s first-ever Hackathon! Upland is lighting up the metaverse with a whole new opportunity for developers by launching its first ever hackathon in celebration of “Genesis Week.” This is the first of many opportunities to learn about how to create a web3 experience leveraging the Upland developer tools and have a chance at winning a $50,000 grant to help take the most creative project from an idea to a reality!

‍

Upland is continuing its path towards the open metaverse economy, where all stakeholders have the opportunity to create value and enjoy the fruits of the platform’s prosperity. With the introduction of the new developer program, Uplanders no longer can just collect, craft, interact with, and trade their digital assets, but can also now create whole new experiences and services on top of the existing offering.

The Design Challenge

Participants in the Genesis Design Challenge will have the opportunity to leave their mark on Upland by creating their very own 1-of-1 MV Motors “Artisan” Trim!

‍

One Grand Prize winner will have their design brought into production in Upland and will be sold at auction with a lucrative revenue share of the UPX proceeds. Additionally, the winner will have an opportunity to join us—LIVE in-person—during Upland’s Genesis Week celebration in Las Vegas on June 10.

‍

Using our new MV Motors Series V model, designers can express their creativity to produce a high-quality skin. This design will be completely unique, meaning that it will be unlike any other car in the Upland metaverse, so you definitely won’t want to miss your chance to leave your mark! Check out the samples below for some inspiration…
