Campus Mini App Challenge: ₱50K Prize Pool Now Open

The BLOKC, in partnership with Base Pilipinas, has officially opened submissions for the Campus Mini App Challenge — a builder competition inviting students and alumni across the Philippines to create onchain mini apps and compete for a share of a ₱50,000 prize pool.

Announced on August 6, 2025, the challenge is designed to give student builders a real opportunity to showcase their Web3 skills, represent their schools, and gain hands-on experience building on Base, Coinbase's Ethereum Layer 2 network.

Who Can Join?

The challenge is open to students and alumni from any school in the Philippines. Whether you're a seasoned builder or just getting started with onchain development, this is your moment to build something meaningful and compete on a national stage.

Already have a project built on Base? Great news — existing projects are eligible for submission as well.
