Sony Xperia Projector Hackathon 

Sony Mobile

Calling All Android App Developers!
You’re invited to the Sony Xperia Projector Hackathon which will coincide during Game Developers Conference (GDC) 2017 week.
Sony Mobile is hosting a Hackathon for Android developers to get creative with ideas and apps for the upcoming Xperia Projector, the next innovative product from the Sony Mobile line of award-winning Smart Products.
Make a great game... or make a fun, useful app for everyday use... or make something so innovative it changes the way we use and think about apps.
Are you an established indie developer or an aspiring talent with great ideas? We want you to register to participate in our Hackathon! As space is limited, participants will be selected and notified of their acceptance, so enter now for your chance to join us -- and you can win awesome cash and other cool prizes at the Sony Xperia Projector Hackathon!
HOW IT WORKS: Participants need to bring their own laptops and work as teams over the course of 24+ hours to develop and create Android app concepts and products that will be seen by Xperia Projector team members who will be on hand to help inspire and support participants. Some participants will register as part of a team (max team size is five people). If you don't already have a team, full or partial, you'll have the opportunity to join/form a team on the day of the event. 
PRIZES: Prizes and awards will be presented by the Xperia Projector team. Prizes include awesome cash and cool Sony products. 
REGISTRATION: Admission is FREE! Register by Tuesday, February 28 at 12:00pm. Participants will be notified in advance of their acceptance, but space is limited, so sign-up early.
