Five creators are getting $1,000 USD in MANA each to build a social experience around the theme "TURN IT UP." This is a proposal stage—no finished build required yet. Just a clear idea and examples of your past work.

What to Build

Take a small interaction and amplify it so everyone in the space can feel it. The light gets brighter. The sound gets louder. The space reacts as more people join in. It's less about complexity and more about creating moments that pull people in.

At least one of these two features should be part of your idea:

Dynamic Lighting — Guide attention, create feedback, or turn a small action into something visible across the whole space. A lighthouse challenge where players rotate beams to find targets. A color-matching sequence using light patterns. A large beacon that lights up when activated, drawing others in.

Audio Signal Processing — Let scenes respond to sound. A dance floor that reacts to music in real time. A rhythm challenge with synced audio and visual effects. A structure that grows or changes as more people add sound.
