An offline product improvement challenge focused on User Experience, Functional Enhancement, and System Redesign.
About the Opportunity:
Reimagination is a 6-hour offline challenge organized by GDG IIIT Surat where participants take an existing website, app, or digital platform and improve it by adding better features, smoother user flow, and a cleaner overall experience.
This competition is not about copying a design; it is about rebuilding and enhancing a product using original ideas. Unlike typical UI contests, Reimagination focuses on practical improvements and functionality, encouraging participants to think beyond appearance and build smarter, more useful solutions.
Themes and Problem Statements:
Participants are required to work on the following key areas of product improvement:
Usability: Improving user comfort and navigation.
Functionality: Adding meaningful functional enhancements.
Frontend Engineering: Redesigning the frontend experience for better performance.
Backend/System: Proposing backend or system-level improvements.
Branding: Strengthening visual identity and impact.
Eligibility and Registration:
Eligibility: Open to 1st, 2nd, and 3rd-year students from any college.
Team Size: Participation is open to individuals or teams of up to 3 members.
Mode: Offline (On-Campus at IIIT Surat).
Competition Structure:
The event consists of a single high-intensity development round:
The Redesign Sprint (6 Hours):
Problem Reveal: Full problem statements/target products will be revealed at the start of the event.
Development: Teams must brainstorm, design, and implement their improvements within the 6-hour window.
Evaluation: Solutions will be judged based on the depth of the improvement, not just the visual redesign. Original ideas and practical contributions are key.

1st Prize: ₹5,000 + Certificate
2nd Prize: ₹3,000 + Certificate
3rd Prize: ₹2,000 + Certificate
