Overview
CreateHER Fest offers $1,500 in Community Builder Support Awards to recognize solo builders and teams building thoughtful, responsible technology for women and marginalized communities.
These awards reinvest in builders who have been learning and building alongside the community throughout the program — not just submitting at the deadline.
Track Awards
- ⭐ Best Use of AI/ML (with Goose) — $600
- ⭐ Best Use of AR/VR/XR — $500
- ⭐ Best Use of Blockchain — $400
Important Notes
- Each project can win one track award to ensure multiple teams are recognized
- Teams must select one primary category (AI/ML, AR/VR/XR, or Blockchain) when submitting
- Track awards recognize strong technical work and active community engagement

- Attending a workshop or live session
- Sharing an Idea-thon blueprint or peer feedback
- Incorporating mentor or peer feedback into your build
- Completing a build-related quest or challenge
- Engaging in Discord discussions or office hours
