The brief

Apply with a link to something you shipped and a build idea of up to 280 characters. The event advertises first-place awards of up to $25,000 cash and 200,000 credits, subject to organizer terms.

Before you enter

  • Apply and secure a place before making travel plans.
  • Build using Runway’s API; the detailed schedule closes submissions at 16:00 and starts demos at 17:00.

Details to confirm

The source labels event hours as PST even though San Francisco normally uses PDT in September. Confirm local time with Runway. No exact application cutoff or credit-expiry terms were published; the schedule’s 16:00 submission time is earlier than the headline’s 17:00 demo wording.
