Season Zero · the build challenge · Instagram
Nine slides, 1080×1350. The whole challenge in one swipe.









Six numbered steps between the cover and the prize slide, so it answers what, which track, who, when, how to submit and how you win, in that order. Every number on it matches the field manual.
The Season Zero build challenge, start to finish, in one swipe. One question runs the whole season: what could you build that brings people together? An app, a business tool, a community program, a night that works. You do not have to write code. Pick a track. Build it. Show it in November. The room votes by collecting the submissions they believe in, one each, standing in the room. Most collects in each track wins a $300 Visa gift card. Free to enter. Solo or a team. No experience required. Join any time, even in November. Prize pool from Red Foundry and Obsrvr, $300 each. Start here: make a room at app.gmcarl.xyz, read every rule at gmcarl.xyz/season0/docs, then come to Coffee with Carl on Saturday September 26, 9:30 in the morning at Haven Cafe. Come say gm.
Link in bio goes to gmcarl.xyz/season0. Say gmcarl.xyz/go/challenge out loud from the floor — it opens the field manual and can be re-pointed later without changing anything printed.
