Snap Kit brings the best of Snapchat to partner and developer apps and websites. It’s a great opportunity for developers to grow their audience connecting with millions of Snapchatters. Through integrations with Snapchat’s best features, app developers can quickly grow and engage users from all over the world.

Over the past few years, we’ve been humbled by the extraordinary stories and experiences built by the Snap Developer community. sendit's use of Creative, Bitmoji, and Login Kits helped them rise to the top of the app store. Spotify has led the way in delivering streaming audio globally and they recognized early the value of sharing the song their listener's love into the Snap Camera with Creative Kit. And Twitter’s use of Creative Kit drove current events directly into the Snap Camera.

We’re calling on you to build something that exemplifies the best of Snapchat, using at least one of our many Snap Kit developer tools. In this challenge, we are searching for the best uses of Snap Kit across four categories:

Best App - Express Themselves
Snap democratizes visual communication. We want to see developers create experiences that drive Snapchatters to express themselves in fun and delightful new ways. 

Best App - Live in the Moment
Stop planning and start doing. Snap is a messaging app that can rally friends to get out and get going. This award is for developers who can light a fire under our community.

Best App - Learn About the World 
We want to see a user experience that teaches Snapchatters something new about the world around them. This award recognizes the best experience that educates us around an important subject. 

Best App - Have Fun Together

Community MVP
