Companies DO NOT have to be launching but company, product or project announcements MUST BE new. You can leave that bit blank if you have not launched.
Words of advice: aim to present something that is interesting but also entertaining!
Hey Mike,
sounds really exciting. Two things I would like to add/ask, however:
1. The signup site says that the deadline is 9th October, your post says 10th (and sounds more reasonable, being a Friday), either way, one is wrong
2. Is it possible to apply if one hasn’t launched just yet? The info says “do not have to be launching”, but when I apply I have to submit a “Product URL”, which would normally be the site of the launched product
So that makes me a little confused.
Hope you can clear things up,
Thanks in advance!
Martin

You don’t have to be launching. You can leave that blank if you have not launched but you should be announcing something new.
