It's the moment our [Deepgram Hackathon](https://dev.to/devteam/join-us-for-a-new-kind-of-hackathon-on-dev-brought-to-you-by-deepgram-2bjd) participants have been waiting for! After a month-long submission period and a few weeks of submission review, we're thrilled to announce the winners of this community contest. 

The Deepgram Hackathon took place from March 10-April 11, 2022. In partnership with our friends over at [Deepgram](https://deepgram.com/), we were excited to host a fun and truly unique contest that challenged the community to write essays and case studies about Deepgram, build applications utilizing Deepgram, and cheer one another on. 

### After a careful review process by the DEV and Deepgram teams, we've selected our Grand Prize winners and Runners-Up across the "Build" and "Innovative Ideas" categories as well as our randomly-selected "Engagement Challenge" winners. Take a look at these awesome projects...
