It's the moment ourDeepgram Hackathon participants have been waiting for! After a month-long submission period and a few weeks of submission review, we're thrilled to announce the winners of this community contest.

The Deepgram Hackathon took place from March 10-April 11, 2022. In partnership with our friends over atDeepgram, we were excited to host a fun and truly unique contest that challenged the community to write essays and case studies about Deepgram, build applications utilizing Deepgram, and cheer one another on.

After a careful review process by the DEV and Deepgram teams, we've selected our Grand Prize winners and Runners-Up across the "Build" and "Innovative Ideas" categories as well as our randomly-selected "Engagement Challenge" winners. Take a look at these awesome projects...
