As a web-centric platform with an easy-to-use Smart TV software development kit, webOS enables developers to create third-party services and apps for millions of homes worldwide. The platform offers developers the tools to create apps and services that engage media, devices, security, networking, Smart TV functionalities and more.

Powering LG Smart TVs, including the award-winning LG OLED TV, for over a decade, webOS platform has been acclaimed as a friendly user interface, with easy navigation and customization to provide users with the premium entertainment experience expected from LG products. Now, with an always-growing ecosystem of global partners, the webOS platform is set to drive the next generation of service innovation.
In addition, LG is committed to expanding the webOS ecosystem by partnering with leaders in the gaming industry. This collaboration aims to offer customers a wide range of gaming services tailored to diverse preferences and interests, while enhancing the gaming capabilities of its exceptional OLED TVs. LG Smart TVs in global markets now feature an increasing array of cloud gaming services and family-friendly games.
To participate in the hackathon, applicants will need to submit their applications online. Applications for the hackathon are now open and will close on July 26. Following the application process, participants will be invited to a webinar to learn more about the API and hackathon details. Finalists will be notified by mid-September.

The app, scenario and demo video must be submitted by August 26. Selected winning developers will then be invited to Seoul to present their ideas in front of top LG executives on September 27.
Cash prizes will be awarded to the top three winners of the hackathon, with a USD 100,000 Grand Prize for first place, USD 80,000 for second place and USD 50,000 for third place.
