Today's the last day to submit your app using NEAR... You can do this!!!
Submission deadline = Monday, Feb 21 at 2:00pm (PT) / 5:00pm (ET)
4 hours left to submit. Finish your submission now. Might as well save it early… A rough draft is better than nothing!!

Submission deadline extended!
The submission deadline is now February 21 at 2:00pm PST.
Now you have some extra time to build and refine your projects. 
Don’t forget the main requirement: Build an app using NEAR in one of the below tracks.
- The Welcome track – for those who have an app and want to integrate blockchain into it, and for the non-blockchain developers who want to get familiar with the technology.
- The Natives track – for the developers who are already familiar with NEAR, Aurora or Octopus blockchain, or build ecosystem and tooling apps (using blockchain data, not the technology).
