Two weeks left! How is your project going?

We hope your project for the Meta Horizon Start Competition is coming along smoothly! With the deadline a little under 2 weeks away, we wanted to send a friendly reminder to ensure everything is on track.

You can edit your submission as much as you would like before the deadline, so start one today here.

Here's a handy checklist to review while finalizing your app

✅ Submission Checklist:

  • Project as defined in What to Build. 

    • For apps built with Unity, Unreal, Spatial SDK or Android/Native:

    • For apps built with IWSDK (WebXR):

      • See "Deploying to GitHub Pages" for details on how to share a link. You may also use your preferred hosting solution (e.g., Digital Ocean, AWS, Azure, etc.)

    • Once the Entry Period has ended, you may not make changes or alterations to your submission. The judging process will be based on the state of the Entry at the time of submission deadline. Ensure your entry Project remains available.

  • Demonstration video of your Project that should be less than three (3) minutes and showcase footage of your Project as viewed on a Meta Quest device or via XR Simulator or another equivalent emulator. 

    • Reminder: Judges are not required to watch beyond three minutes.

  • Answer the required Submission Form questions. See a few of them below:

    • Track: Entertainment, Lifestyle, or Gaming

    • Text description that explains your inspiration, how you built it, future plans for improvement (suggested length: 500 words or less).

    • If your Project is an UPDATED build (as described above), include a summary description of the new features/capabilities added to the application. Screenshots, changelogs and/or demo videos are highly recommended.

If you've addressed all the bullets above, you're well on your way to submitting a stellar project! 

Remember, submissions are due on December 9, 2025 before 6:00 P.M. Pacific Time. Start or continue editing your project today.
