Hi all - I hope you’re doing well!

I’m excited to announce the Interface Designer Contest.

We have been so impressed by what the community has been able to accomplish with Interface Designer so far, and can’t wait to be inspired by your creativity. This contest will be open through August 12, 2022 at 5pm PT and winners will be announced in late August.

More details can be found below. Happy building 🙂

The categories:

  1. Best design: The most intuitive, easy-to-use interface. Not just visually appealing, but also functional.
  2. Best use case/solution focus: The best example of using an Interface to solve a problem for a specific use case or function, for example, Marketing or Product Ops.
  3. Wildcard: Just have fun and build something cool.

The prizes (for each category):

  • First place: $5,000, Airtable swag bag, & an invitation to an Interface Designer feedback session with the Airtable product team

Would love to see all submission as well. Still in need of some inspiration for interfaces.

I’d still reaaally like to know if this contest is for ‘all of the interfaces linked to a base’ or ‘a single interface linked to a base’.

I have assumed it was a single interface, but that was indeed an assumption.

@Jordan_Scott1 any updates? Conscious there’s only two weeks to go!

Thank you all for your patience ad we looked into this as it’s not expected behavior. In the meantime, if you are using automations for your interface, or would rather not share on universe, please create a base invite link and use that URL for your submission instead. This link will only be shared with the Airtable team and will not incur any additional charges to your account.

@Jordan_Scott1 Thank you so much for giving us resolution on this issue.

What sort of permissions do we need to include with the base invite link? Are read-only permissions okay, in case the link gets leaked to someone outside of Airtable, or if we want to share the base with other non-Airtable people? Will Airtable be duplicating the base and turning on the automations?

if you are using automations for your interface

I have already submitted two entries, both have several automations, and are listed on Universe.

Do I need to re-enter, or will your fix on Universe mean that those entries’ automations will correctly carry over?

Read-only totally works! We will use the link you create to judge so we shouldn’t need to duplicate anything!

@Russell_Bishop1 It’s going to take some time to get this fixed, so please resubmit and I can delete your other entries!

All interfaces, but only a single interface is required!
