THE CHALLENGE
FremantleMedia North America is hosting a hackathon to reimagine the TV show website. 
 
Fremantle is a global content company that creates, produces and distributes some of the best-known and most-loved content in the world across traditional TV and digital platforms. Our shows include  America’s Got Talent, American Idol, The Price is Right, Family Feud, Let's Make a Deal and upcoming scripted series American Gods – among many others.
 
We also run our own network, called BUZZR and run live, travelling versions of our popular game shows such as The Price Is Right Live and Let's Make a Deal Live. 
 
We are welcoming developers and designers to build a website experience for TV fans using code from Wordpress.org and our API partners. The new site will be for FremantleMedia North America, a separate site from the current FremantleMedia site. Developers can either build a website or, if they are building a custom Wordpress plug-in they should build enough of a site on which to demonstrate how the plug-in works. 
 
We’ll provide the basics you need: corporate style guide, fonts, logos, videos, stills/images, show descriptions, show event information, show social links, etc. You provide ways to take the Fremantle site beyond the basic information. Some goals we are trying to achieve include:
 
<UL>
<LI>
Awareness of shows: View air schedules, discover new shows, find episode and contestant news, see upcoming event and tour information, and learn how to be on the shows. 
</LI>
<LI>
Viewer Engagement: Make the shows come alive for site visitors! Create ways for viewers to play along with the show, vote on outcomes, take quizzes, discover related content, find out crazy trivia, see red carpet photos - whatever you can think up! 
</LI>
<LI>
Social Media: Help viewers use social media tools and services to creatively interact with Fremantle's shows and share their excitement with friends and followers.
