    There's a few different ways you can get involved...
  • Hackers: Come and build some amazing stuff. It's all good, provided it's linked to music somehow.
  • Artists: If you're a musician or visual artist and love creativity, culture and technology, please join us. You don't need to know how to code to take part.
  • Presenters: There'll be chances to present the latest features of your API to interested people at the hack event.
  • Prize Sponsor: You can contribute by giving a prize to "best in show" hacks. You can even choose your own criteria for judging.
  • Music Hack Day sponsor: This is a totally not-for-profit event run by volunteers. Our goal is to keep the event totally free for attendees. We rely on the goodwill of sponsors and involved companies to make this all happen. Any donations towards food and coffee will be gladly returned with promotion and publicity.
