If the participants agree, your Wow! track entries will be highlighted in the Threlte site's upcoming showcase section. Meanwhile, Aha! track entries will be merged as PRs to our docs.

Choose your path

As a participant you will need to choose between two tracks: "wow!" and "aha!". Both tracks welcome participants of all levels, coming as individuals or teams. Both tracks will have the same prizes.

Wow! Track

The "Wow! Track" is a playground for innovation, creativity, and jaw-dropping visuals. We invite your to wow us with anything from games, immersive ui/ux prototypes, or a tech or business prototypes. The sky is the limit so we expect you to surprise and delight us!

Aha! Track

The "Aha! Track" is where you share the knowledge with the community. What did you miss when you were learning Threlte? Add that example that delights and explains, or a tutorial that gets you set up with the skills for your next project. Let's make Threlte easy and fun to learn!

Genki Instruments Wave 🥇

The good folks over at Genki graciously sponsored our first prizes: their magical Wave rings. Designed for controlling sound with gestures, the Wave could be a neat way to play around with your Threlte canvas.
