What do you mean by “to add to the local prize pool”? Prize for the local organiser(s) or prize to be added to a specific challenge here: Airtable - Live Challenges for near.org/metabuidl
From my understanding, NEAR Foundation has already spent his max prize pool ($100,000). Correct? Can we bring a sponsor to add a new prize pool for a new challenge?

Prizes to be added to the challenge the Hack Node hosts. This challenge is also listed in the Airtable you linked to that contains all the other challenges that are part of the Hackathon.
If you’re able to secure sponsor(s) to further sweeten the pot of funds NEAR is offering up for grabs, it makes it all that much more exciting, no?

Hey Hack Nodes,
If you’re planning on hosting an offline challenge in order to take advantage of the max. USD $5,000 prize pool available to you as a Hack Node, be sure to upload your challenge details in the form here ASAP.
Be sure to link to your challenge when it is approved in your Hack Node Proposal so we can see at a glance all the activities you’re hosting and how it all fits into your proposed budget.
Would it be possible to apply for Hack Node some time in future? I represent an IT services company Levi9 based in Kyiv, Ukraine.

This is awesome !!! I hope you take Caracas into account !
Caracas is craving for solutions that impulse old ways to move money, share and store value but also having places to learn and have fun. So we can start the city node with this big hackaton event.
Lots of developers looking to growth and learn about blockchain and use their skills to make a build more solutions on it.
Also, users/people ready to save their life by a protocol, going all in in their savings to be protected by the blockchain protocols.
In addition a team looking for new ways to run ideas is a priceless sandbox! I stand for Caracas to be part with a Near guild plan and developing from scratch a user-based solution!

We deployed a METABUIDL Hackathon Team Matching Service https://metabuidl.nearspace.info which helps to:
- discover available positions and join a team
- find a teammate and start building
I didn’t see such a service before for blockchain hackathons, so I guess it could be a great benefit for our participants to create collaborations and networks.
Btw this project is open source https://github.com/zavodil/near-metabuidl so everyone is able to fork it and use it their own hackathon team-matching service! #MetabuidlThemAll
Please promote this service and help our contributors to build strong teams. It’s a nice starting point for non technical persons since they are in position to create profiles and find teams which are looking for artists, designers, promoters, products and ideas.
