CODAWorx Product Adoption Challenge

In partnership with CODAWorx

Teams tackled the challenge of increasing CODAWorx adoption among city commissioners and organizations currently using legacy tools. Over one month, teams developed comprehensive strategies and pitched to a panel of industry judges.

Date:March – April 2026

The prompt

Commissioners managing open calls for artists across 40-60 opportunities typically utilize legacy tools like CaFÉ. However, CODAWorx is only used for 4-6 of these calls. Your challenge: identify and solve the key problems preventing CODAWorx adoption to increase its usage across these commissioner opportunities.
