Have you ever wanted to use AI to make a real, tangible difference in your community? The NVIDIA Nemotron 3 Super Build Contest, organized by Docker Bangalore, Collabnix, and NVIDIA, is your perfect opportunity to do just that. With a deadline of May 25, 2026, developers are invited to build impactful solutions and compete for exciting prizes
The Challenge: 4 Tracks for Public Good
This contest isn't about building just another chatbot; every project must solve a real public problem. Participants must choose one of the following four tracks
Track 1: Community Benefits Navigator - Many people struggle to access the public services they qualify for. This track challenges you to build an assistant that digests complex policy PDFs, eligibility rules, and checklists to help users apply for services like scholarships, legal aid, or health schemes in plain language
Track 2: Open-Source Maintainer Copilot for Small Community Projects - Help prevent burnout among maintainers of public-interest repositories. Build a GitHub helper tailored for nonprofits and civic-tech teams that can automatically triage issues, draft release notes, and assist with newcomer onboarding
Track 3: Local Governance / Public Meeting Explainer - Local decisions are often opaque to the public. Use the model's multi-document reasoning skills to translate city council minutes, budgets, and policy updates into plain-language explanations that tell residents exactly what changed and what actions they can take
Track 4: Crisis Information and Resource Routing Assistant - During chaotic events like floods or disease outbreaks, people need fast, localized guidance. Build a community response assistant that synthesizes rapidly changing context—like shelter lists, school closures, and verified guidance—into one easy-to-use conversational workflow
Prizes and Judging
Projects will be rigorously evaluated across six core dimensions: community value, grounded accuracy, actionability, safety, equity/accessibility, and operational efficiency. A panel of expert judges will also look at your innovation, code quality, and presentation.
If you build one of the top projects, you could win big:
- Top 3 Winners: Amazon vouchers + NVIDIA swag
- 2 Runners-up: NVIDIA swag
How to Submit Your Project
Ready to get started? Make sure your submission meets all the official requirements before the May 25, 2026 deadline. To successfully submit, you must:
Host your code on a public GitHub repository and include an architecture diagram in your README
Record a YouTube demo video showing your project in action
Write a blog post (just like this one!) about your project and share it on social media
Use the right tags: Your social posts must include #NVIDIA and #Nemotron, and you must explicitly call out the Bengaluru meetup
Submit officially by opening a Submission issue on the GitHub repository
Head over to the collabnix/nvidia-nemotron-contest GitHub repository to open your submission issue and get your project on the public wall. If you need help along the way, you can reach out via the Collabnix Slack or open a question issue.
