Selection process

  • July 22, 2026 — registrants receive the full brief, quickstart guide and example apps, and the build window opens.
  • July 29, 2026 — submissions close. Entries consist of a video of the working app, the prompt used, the MCP servers involved and a one-sentence description.
  • July 29–30, 2026 — all submissions go live in a public gallery, where anyone can view them.
  • August 4, 2026 — winners are announced.

Awards are split into three tracks: Most Useful App, Best Weird App and Community Buzz. Community Buzz is settled by public reaction — you post your app publicly, tag @archestra_ai, and the most-liked post wins.
