This isn’t your typical hackathon.?For the first time, developers, engineers, designers and entrepreneurs will have the chance to come together with Canon USA to work on cutting-edge solutions in imaging for commercial applications.

Join Canon USA this December for Canon USA?s first-ever hackathon, focusing on imaging. Together, the NYC tech community will work for more than two days to help create unique and trail-blazing solutions using Canon?s EOS DSLR SDK, an API for Canon?s new Multi-Purpose Module Camera, and other exciting applications. Both startup and fresh code teams are welcome to join and will have different challenges to face depending on starting level.?
Participants will be eligible for more than $10,000 in prizes. Register today to save your spot.
