Prizes & Awards
What You Get
Winners share a $250,000 cash prize pool distributed across three challenge tracks: the Agents Track (build AI agents using Gloo AI Studio), the Ministry Resourcing Track (solve real fundraising and operational challenges submitted by ministries), and the Bible Track (use the YouVersion platform and Bible data to create new ways for people to engage with Scripture). As a competition prize, the money is awarded as cash — no equity is taken and nothing is repaid. Participants also gain exposure to the faith-tech and AI ecosystem, networking with mission-driven builders and innovators, and access to Gloo AI Studio tools and documentation. The event is hybrid: a virtual pre-build/hacking window leads into the in-person finals in Boulder, Colorado, USA.
