Easy Lens $10K Challenge NYC Workshop
Join us for a creative evening with the Easy Lens x Contra $10K Challenge team. No code. No experience. No 3D modeling. You describe an effect, a look, a world, or a game and Easy Lens builds it for you, then you publish it straight to Snapchat.
Come with an idea. Leave with a Lens that's live and a shot at a $10,000 prize pool.
