Thank you very much for extending the deadline. This gives people a little time to learn about the new features and de use about incorporating them before entering the contest.

Is it safe to say that any additional interface features will not be introduced until after the end of the contest?

Correct, nothing else coming to Interfaces until the end of the contest :slightly_smiling_face:

Holy smokes. this is awesome. I have several bases/interfaces that I can submit. I have an awesome interface I made for a client for their inventory/production/sales/accounting. I also have 1 that is super useful for just Product, Quotes, and Jobs with line Items.

What about automations that are needed for the base too? When Copied -those will turn off?

Excited about this! To clarify: is ‘interface’ defined here as specifically ‘designed using the Interface feature’ as opposed to any base that uses any view?

We’ve created a base that we are very proud of and would like to submit, but find that the Interface designer actually limits both the beauty and the functionality of our base. In the interest of winning, we’d be more inclined to submit our base in Gallery View to the contest than the Interface view(s).

Hi @Jordan_Scott1 thanks for informing this exciting contest. I just want to clarify and reconfirm, so this contest not applicable / not open for user from Indonesia, is that right?

We actually have some interesting and exciting implementation of airtable in Indonesia education sector / community. Is there any contest open for us from Indonesia?

Looking forward to it. Thanks heaps!!

Hey, @Jordan_Scott1

regarding this point -

You will need to publish your base to Airtable Universe for submission. Details on how to publish to universe can be found.

Is exposing our production data safe?
