3 days remain! Video and Image Tips

Three days remain to submit your project in the Google Maps Platform Awards! Submissions close July 31st at 5pm ET.

Your submission video and assets are not a showcase—they are a celebration of your innovative project! Often the first thing judges see, your video is your chance to truly stand out.

Here’s how to make your two minutes matter:

  • Make Every Second Count: This isn’t just any video. It is your project’s story and should highlight the unique ways you have leveraged Google Maps Platform to solve problems or create compelling experiences.
  • Craft Your Pitch: Focus on the essentials like key features and how you used Google Maps Platform. Share your project’s purpose, features, and user experience. 
  • Demonstrate Brilliance: Show judges how your project shines in real-world scenarios.
  • Time-Saving Tip: Write out a script and practice it! Precision is key.
  • Pro Tip (Beware Procrastination!): Video uploads can take hours! Don’t let technical glitches dash your record-setting dreams.
  • Images: Add more assets to your submission on Devpost to highlight its features and usage of Google Maps Platform.

Upload the video to YouTube, Vimeo, Facebook Video, or Youku. Make sure it is public and add it to your submission on Devpost here!

Make sure your video is playable on Devpost when you review your project.

Lights, Camera, Action!
