"The PhizzPop Design Challenge pits top interactive, Web, and design agencies against one another to push the limits of technology and creativity in a battle royale. Think Mad Max for design."

Teams are given a design challenge with less than 3 days to deliver a solution.

Regional competitions took place in New York, Boston, Chicago, Austin, and Los Angeles, with winners set to competing against one another at South by Southwest Interactive Conference (SXSW) in Austin, TX.

thirteen23 accepted the challenge to design an engaging media platform for Microcinema's independent film festival—Independent Exposure.

Three days later, we were the last team standing. That's right.

We took 1st Place in our division!

Our winning solution featured design solutions for web, desktop, and mobile, with the final entry including a custom video application for the iPhone.

Thanks again to all the local entities that participated. See you again in Austin.
