Hi ,
Can we start Blue prism Hackathons , nation or worldwide. The Hackathon can be related to "RPA for Cause","RPA for Enterprise", "RPA for Fun" but Blue prism as RPA tool should be must to use .  The 
gives competitors the opportunity to build open source, reusable components with Blue Prism, and thus they can win some prizes ,additional exposure to the Blue Prism company, community, and customers.

To participate, there component must be open source, built with Blue prism, and must automate repetitive tasks commonly found in the workplace. 

 They may submit more applications, but each must include one reusable component, a demo video, the documentation of your component, and access to your open source code.

It will be a Win-Win situation as the participants can learn and earn exposure with some benefits at the same time also Blue prism can get some automated new VBO's or new integrations with APIs , tools , applications which was not there before.

Hi Vipul,

We love the sound of a Blue Prism Hackathon ðŸ˜€ 

Did you see the Challenges we ran at BPW2020? We had some great feedback from participants so we are looking to run more later this year - watch this space.

Similar to what you have suggested, some of the solutions built by the teams, in the challenges, have been uploaded onto our DX - you can read more here: https://community.blueprism.com/communities/community-home/digestviewer/viewthread?MessageKey=fad97916-ed36-4e44-b424-330aabb77c8b&CommunityKey=1e516cfe-4d1f-4de9-a9eb-58d15bf38c81&tab=digestviewer

Hi @NorahAlsudani ,

Thanks for sharing , yes i am aware about this . Though the idea is to have a Blue prism centralized hackathon as this challenges concept restricts any team\individual to ​​​think about only Blue prism already build capabilities say Surface automation or so .
Though what i picturing this is like a grand hackathon may be nationwide or across globe where any team can build anything say for categories RPA for cause, RPA for Enterprise and RPA for fun , where Blue prism is the must to be used tool with other capabilities say Salesforce , AI , IOT or other new technologies. We can judge them on there ideas and the future picture of there ideas.
For sure we can get many new connectors through this and different connections with new technologies too .
