About the contest

The Base44 Big Game app contest is a limited-time promotion that rewards the best game day apps built on Base44. You use Base44 to generate and polish an app, make it live, then show it off on social for a chance to win. Build anything that makes the Big Game more fun, more organized, or more chaotic in the best way. For example, you might create:
  • A watch party planner or invite tool
  • A snack tracker or rating board
  • A score predictor or prop tracker
  • Halftime bingo, commercial rating, or meme generators
Build something useful or completely ridiculous. As long as it is built on Base44 and clearly tied to the Big Game experience, you are in the right place!

​
