Meteor Makers / Partnerships
Build challenges.
Give people a reason to make something remarkable.
Bring a useful technical question. Together, we can shape the brief, the build, and the moment it deserves.
Choose the shape
A better brief.
A better build.
A small, focused challenge can be more useful than a sprawling campaign. Start with the outcome and give the work room to be good.
Build challenge
Turn a good technical question into a public brief.
- A dedicated challenge page and schedule
- Project submissions and a documented rubric
- Scheduled on-site updates and reminders
- A source-linked results and project roundup
Learn, then build
Give the challenge a useful reading path.
- A scoped practical guide or topic collection
- A challenge tied to the learning material
- Clear prerequisites and submission requirements
- Labeled, lasting reference pages after the campaign
The details matter
Know what
you're backing.
A calendar everyone can follow
Agree the announcement, entry window, reminders, judging period, and results date before launch. Clock-driven steps can run automatically.
Clear terms, before anyone builds
Set eligibility, judging criteria, tie handling, project rights, and prize terms in the approved rules. Creators retain ownership; campaign reuse rights are agreed explicitly.
A prize is a delivery commitment
Name the fulfillment owner and agree shipping regions, customs, taxes, claim deadlines, and unclaimed-prize handling. No surprise shipping bill should be the finale.
Support with an honest label
Sponsors are named. Funded coverage is labeled. Support never buys a positive review, hidden limitations, or an invented endorsement.
One coordinated plan
From first idea
to final result.
The proposal separates campaign work, prizes, hardware, and fulfillment. We'll scope the actual work and commercial terms in writing.
- 01
Scope
The subject, deliverables, budget, and the people responsible for delivery.
- 02
Prepare
Approved rules, prize funding, shipping terms, and a reviewed public brief.
- 03
Launch
The challenge appears on schedule; entries open at the agreed time.
- 04
Build
A visible deadline, project submissions, and scheduled on-site reminders.
- 05
Review
Eligibility and scoring follow the published rubric and tie-break rules.
- 06
Celebrate
Approved results publish on schedule, with prize delivery tracked separately.
A schedule handles timing, not judgment: rules approval, eligible winners, and physical prize delivery require the agreed owners. Email outreach is scoped only when a verified sending service and consent are in place.
Put the idea on the bench
Let's build
the brief.
Tell us what your technology makes possible, what you want people to create, and what support you can bring.
A private proposal, not a public post or a booking.
Before we start
Good questions.
Clear answers.
Do we need to supply hardware?
Not necessarily. A challenge can be tool-agnostic, use readily available hardware, or include an agreed equipment allocation. Availability, delivery times, and eligibility must support the actual build window.
Can a sponsor choose the winner?
Judging roles and conflicts are agreed and disclosed in the official rules before entry opens. Results require eligibility and scoring review; a paid relationship does not override the published criteria.
What does a campaign cost?
Pricing follows the scope. The proposal separates platform and editorial work from prizes, hardware, and fulfillment costs. Sending this form does not commit either party to a booking or a payment.
What will reporting include?
Agree the report before launch: delivered pages, actual eligible submissions, judging milestones, and prize-delivery status. Traffic or conversion reporting is included only when real measurement is available; no minimum participation or reach is promised.
What happens to the project writeups?
Creators keep their rights. The rules define the permission needed to display entries and any separately agreed reuse. The challenge archive and approved results remain useful after the entry window closes.
