Do you know that hackatons are not just geeky programmers' events? Smart teams know that designers can enrich their ideas of another perspective and make a beautiful "cover" so it pops. I signed up for V4 Hackaton a day before, joined a team of great programmers who needed a designer and went for it!

As there were several topics to match in Hackathon, we chose Smart cities because the environment we live in highly influences our quality of life. Our application called Bounty Land solves a problem of polluted and dirty places in your city. Through creating challenges, pinning them to a map and sharing them with citizens you can offer a bounty to someone who would help e.g. with an overloaded trashcan or a dog poo on a street. Because this is also an issue your city should know, our aim would be to gather these data regarding the most frequently pinned dirty places and let your city know about this so they can edit their cleaning routes, a frequency of cleaning particular parts of the city etc.

But Bounty land is not only about cleaning the city, we also want to connect people and let them share more and make good deeds! Imagine you baked too many muffins for a picnic so you could easily pin a photo to a map saying 'Hello, we are currently at the park Lužánky and we have a lot of muffins, come and join us!' It could be for free of for several crowns. Payment would be processed easily by your debit card through one click.

We wanted to make our app fun and motivational to use so we incorporated also gamification elements therefore after creating or completing any challenge you'd be rewarded by a good karma and you could see who is the best clean city master and how many more karma you need to gain to beat him.
