One month of asynchronous building funnels thousands of developers down to twenty who make the reality show on a studio stage.
Phase 01 · Auditions
A month-long, fully remote audition sprint — the only gate into the reality show. Submit a concept note to enter the selection pool. Shortlisted builders get Google Cloud credits, ship a working project with a video screentest, and clear a final screening for a seat on the studio floor.
Share your idea and approach. A short concept note is your entry ticket into the selection pool.
Shortlisted applicants move into the audition round with access to build credits on Google Cloud.
Use your Google Cloud credits to build your project, then submit your code along with a video screentest.
Clear the final screening, get paired into a team, and claim your place on the studio floor.
Phase 02 · The Cuts
The leaderboard decides. Only the top hundred advance.
A technical evaluation paired with a media screening on camera.
The remaining professionals are paired into 10 power duos.
Phase 03 · The Show
This streams on AIM Originals. Ten duos build fully operational applications inside time-compressed studio rounds, then pitch their stack to a panel of industry leaders. The strongest builds claim the cash awards and the Season Best Trophy.
