## Summary

This article is a promotional pitch from Lens inviting builders to a holiday hackathon. Lens offers generous prizes for winners, direct support from its team, and real-time validation from users. Verified Lens power users will vote through Jokerace to judge the submissions. The piece is written in a casual, humorous tone that frames the event as an alternative to holiday festivities for people who dislike the season.

## Article

Some people love the holidays, some others don't. I'm in the latter bucket. So whenever there's some excuse that can save me from pretending I'm festive, I AM DOWN. And if there's money involved, even better. So what do I like to do during the holiday season? Watch Batman movies and trade.

Due to the insurmountable reality that there are limited Batman movies and this year, UNFORTUNATELY, they only released The Penguin spin-off which is tragic, it's looking like we'll need to figure out something else to do. On top of that, I believe we have all drunk enough in the conference season, so we won't be doing that either. It is looking dire for us Grinches out there.

And since it's seeming as if ICOs are back (if you don't believe me, just ask Cobie), it seems that you'll be needing to come up with a good product idea to seize the comeback of the much feared (yet remembered fondly by those of us that were there during those days) funding mechanism.

Well, Lens has just the thing for you: a holiday hackathon. We have built some seriously powerful tech, and we're offering you the chance to take it for a spin. Here's the deal:

Generous prizes for winners

Direct support from our team

Real-time validation from actual users

And here's the best part: We're having verified Lens power users vote through Jokerace to judge the submissions. No bots, no nonsense – just real community feedback on your project.

So this holiday season, while others are hanging stockings, you could be:

Building something awesome

Getting validated by a real, engaged community

Potentially winning significant prizes

No tinsel required. No forced cheer. Just pure building opportunity. Ready to turn your holiday cynicism into something productive?.

This package is so good it doesn't even need a bow, anon. Come build with us.
