​The Vancouver World Cup is here!

​Vancouver Made is a one-day designathon and hackathon at BCIT Tech Collider. The two tracks, in one line:

Devin Open Hackathon Track: build anything Vancouver and World Cup themed, your medium, your call.

​Formme Fashion Design Track: design a Vancouver kit that actually gets manufactured.

​Devin Open Hackathon Track

​We are bringing Devin by Cognition to Western Canada for the first time!! Devin is giving away $2000 worth of free credits and exciting cash prizes!

​Devin Open Hackathon Track awards:
- 1st prize: CAD$500
- 2nd prize: CAD$300
- 3rd prize: CAD$100

​Formme Fashion Design Track

​Vancouver startup, Formme is enabling fashion designers bring their vision to reality for the first time, with your designs actually getting manufactured as high-end jerseys.

​Tell the Vancouver story: its heritage, neighbourhoods, mountains, ocean, culture.

​Fashion Design Track awards:

​- 1st: 10 full kits (jersey + shorts) of your design, manufactured

​- 2nd: 5 jerseys of your design, manufactured

​- 3rd: 15% off your next order

​WHAT WE ARE ACTUALLY JUDGING

​Novelty of process and output, not just craft or finish.

​What you make matters. The system behind it matters just as much. What did you try? What did you build around your process? What became possible because of the tools, code, and experiments you used?

​A strong project feels new in one of two ways: the output is novel, or the process opens a new way of making. The Fashion Design Track wins by making a kit no one expected. Something that captures the heart of Vancouver. The Devin Open Hackathon Track wins by building something no one else in the room could have produced.

​Show your work either way. What you used, what you built, what broke. The process is part of the pitch.

​More awards across both tracks:

​- Use of AI / Tools: Prizes worth CAD$200 from the AI Consensus
- Best Vancouver Narrative: CAD$100 gift voucher from East Village
- Show your process award: CAD$50 cash prize from Adventeam
- Best Reflection of Vancouver Grassroots Culture: CAD$100 cash prize from Parallel49

​Over $2,000 in prizes.

​WHO SHOULD COME

​Designers, fashion creatives, type cutters, illustrators. And AI builders, hackers, software engineers, automation tinkerers, students who would rather ship a pipeline than open Figma. If you have a perspective on Vancouver and want to spend a day building something genuinely new, this is for you.

​You do not need to know how to design. You do not need to know how to code. You need to come in curious.
