Showcase Your Culture Hackathon – Winners Announcement


Are you ready for an eye-opening journey through different cultures and communities? 💛 The whole world holds so many yet unexplored places and people hold various passions, experiences, and memories… 🌍 All of them are worth sharing and today, we’re telling those stories – of our AR Community and their origins, family, friends, groups, hobbies, safe places and everything that they cherish. 🦋✨

It’s THE day! We’re finally announcing the Winners and their extraordinary mind-blowing submissions. 💥 This time, in yet another challenging event for our talented Community, our Lenslist x Meta Spark Hackathon: Showcase Your Culture, we were looking for outstanding, interactive, and/or utility World AR Effects, exploring and embodying various special meanings and parts of your cultures. ⭐ But what you showed us was a lot more – it was a true journey through your souls. ✨

Let us tell you truthfully that even though we know that culture can be defined in many ways – from traditional well-known symbols to personal attributes – this hackathon proved that culture is not bounded by anything. Your submissions blew our minds and expectations! 🚀 Not only you’ve created original, complex works but allowed us to get to know you more – from the inside out – as well as people and places you hold dear. 🙌🏻 THANK YOU for taking the time to create something magical.

Before we jump into what everyone is waiting for, just a quick recap of what was awaiting the Winners – the prizes are as follows:
