Avalanche has launched Build Games, a six-week global competition for developers creating new blockchain products on its network, offering a total prize pool of $1 million.

The contest features an open-ended format with no predefined categories, allowing any project built on the Avalanche platform to participate.

Teams submit a one-minute video pitch during the first week, outlining their idea, the problem they aim to solve, and their background. The following weeks focus on prototype development and business planning, culminating in a live showcase evaluated by judges.

The grand prize awards $100,000, with $25,000 paid upfront and the remaining $75,000 contingent on post-competition milestone achievement. Second place receives $75,000 and third place $50,000, while additional category prizes range from $5,000 to $40,000.

Participants who complete the program gain access to Avalanche’s Codebase accelerator, with further funding opportunities including $50,000 grants without requiring equity.
