We are so thrilled to introduce DEV's Worldwide Show and Tell Challenge presented by Mux!
Running through January 4, this challenge invites you to record a 1-minute pitch video about your project and share it with the community. Consider this our version of "Shark Tank" but without the sharks.
Have you been thinking about a project for months but haven't gotten started? Take this as your signal to start building!
Previous projects welcome too! This is your moment to show off that side project, startup, or previous challenge submission that you worked so hard on but didn't get the recognition for.
Whether it's a weekend hack, a passion project you've been refining or thinking about for months, or something in between, we want to see it!
Judging Criteria
Your pitch will be evaluated using Shark Tank–inspired criteria:
- Problem & Opportunity - How clearly you explain the problem and why it matters
- Solution & Technical Approach - How well your app solves the problem and how thoughtful/creative your implementation is
- Value Proposition & Audience Benefit - Who it's for and what they get out of it
- Storytelling & Pitch Quality - Clarity, structure, and how engaging your 1-minute pitch is
- Scalability & "Would You Invest?" Potential - How big this could be and whether it feels investable
Prizes
Both Overall Prompt Winner and Best Use of Mux Winner will each receive:
- $1,500 USD cash prize
- DEV++ Membership
- Exclusive DEV Badge
All Participants with a valid submission will receive a completion badge on their DEV profile.
