The Application

We're looking for people of action.

People who want the world to change.

Not talkers — doers.

Your Task

Use AI to create something that shows what needs to change in the world.

Manifesto. Plan. Design. Prototype. Format doesn't matter.

What matters: you made something.

No coding. No design skills. No experience. The time is right for those who act.

What you submit becomes ours. Full rights. No exceptions.

This isn't fair. It's the price of entry.

Some regions have restrictions. See Terms for details.

Have a code from someone already in? Enter it here.

Selection

Submitting puts you in the queue.

Selection is at our discretion — we choose who we want.

No timeline promised.

If selected, you'll receive full rules + a confirmation challenge.
