Aviary and Mixi bring Photo Hack Day to Japan!

After four super successful Photo Hack Days, Aviary is bringing the fun across the globe to our friends in Japan! Co-hosted by Mixi, PHD5 will unite talented developers and designers in the Tokyo area to build amazing applications using web and mobile APIs.

Who: All of our design and dev friends in the photo space

What: An exciting, weekend-long coding marathon!

When: February 21-23, 2014

Where: Mixi Headquarters in Tokyo, Japan

Why: Showcase your mad skills and creativity with APIs in front of hundreds of top developers and designers. Also, teams will compete for a chance to win big prize money, tech gear and the wonderment of your startup peers!

From NYC to San Francisco, our four sold-out Photo Hack Days have brought in over 1500 developers and designers as well as more than 250 hacks. The result? Some pretty incredible projects, like last year’s winner, Letsgo.io (http://letsgo.io/). The Letsgo.io team created a cool website for travelers that shows photos of all the sights they’ll see on an upcoming trip. It’s a great way to visually map out a trip - and it was just one of the many hacks that were impressively original, creative, functional and visually stunning.

We are beyond excited to bring Photo Hack Day 5 to Japan and can’t wait to see the results!
