Apply to SXSW Release It Before Jan 19

The Forrest Four-Cast: December 13, 2017

The SXSW Release It competition is designed for startups (as well as established companies) that have a product, a service or an application that will launch in the first quarter of the new year. So if you are wanting to leverage the SXSW platform to build buzz around your new launch, then this event is for you.

The application deadline for SXSW Release It is the end of the day on Friday, January 19, 2018.

After January 19, all received applications will be reviewed by a panel of judges comprised of technology industry experts, VCs, angel investors, and high-profile members of the media. Finalists will be announced in February; these finalists will then pitch their products in front of a live audience at SXSW on Friday, March 9.

Past winners of SXSW Release It include Abartys Health (2017), Inteliclinic Inc. (2016) and Honest Dollar (2015).
