We have a few slots left for designers and developers. Email hackathon@pov.org to get matched onto a team!

POV Hackathon is a weekend laboratory that since 2012 has provided matchmaking and mentorship for visionary nonfiction media makers and inventive technologists as they create prototypes that re-invent the documentary for the web.

POV Hackathon 8 will take place in New York City at the Made in NYC Media Center by IFP on the weekend of April 4-5, 2015.

If you're looking to hack on HTML5 video, immersive storytelling or transmedia, or if you want to work with amazing storytellers, then this could be the hack for you! You don't have to come with any pre-existing projects, but you must email hackathon@pov.org before the hack starts so we can add you to the right project team.

Fast Company recently called POV Hackathon one of the year's "most anticipated events." Don't miss your chance to find out why.

Eligibility

Any technologists (designers, developers) can apply by emailing hackathon@pov.org with informatino about yourself, or by completing the "technologist" application form at pov.org/hackathon.
