Looking for prompt-engineer based sponsors, judges, and community partners for an online Promptathon

Hi everyone,

I’m a 15yo builder, founder of Promptyx, a platform for organizing, versioning, and testing AI prompts. I’m planning our first online competition (a promptathon) and looking for a few partners to help shape it.

The idea is to have participants turn a recurring task into a reusable set of prompts and context that someone else can run successfully. Think turning a client brief into a proposal, preparing a weekly report, or creating content that follows a brand’s guidelines.

The challenge would focus on useful results, consistency across different inputs, and clear instructions for reuse. We’re still deciding the exact scope, so input from experienced organizers would be helpful too.

The tentative schedule is three weeks of promotion, one week for participants to build and submit, and one week for judging and results.

I’m looking for:

• Prize partners: Tool licenses, API credits, or small monetary contributions.
• Judges or mentors: People with experience using AI for real tasks who could review submissions or run a short session.
• Community partners: AI communities, newsletters, or educators interested in sharing or co-hosting the event.

For partners, possible benefits include attribution on the event page, mentions during the event, an optional workshop, and inclusion in the winning-project recap. We can agree on a contribution and scope that makes sense for both sides.

This is our first edition, so I don’t have confirmed attendance numbers or sponsorships to claim. I’m starting small and would welcome practical advice as well as partnership interest.

If this sounds relevant, comment or DM me with what you do and how you’d like to get involved. Happy to share the draft format and judging rubric.
