Snap AR x Lenslist: Your new era with Lens Studio Lensathon

It has never been a better time to get started with Lens Studio and make it your AR home!

On August 27th, there was a change in the AR landscape when one of the major AR platforms was shut down. Snap AR on the other hand keeps releasing new features and pushing the boundaries in AR. This Lensathon is here to allow you to take all your learnings and experiences, assets and effects and give them a new life on the one and only AR-first platform – Snapchat!

💰 Tracks & Prizes

‘Your new era’ Lensathon gives you two different tracks you can submit for – and we definitely encourage you to try both!
Keep in mind that you can also submit one Lens in two tracks, provided it fits both themes.

Take your best AR experiences made on other AR platforms and remake them for Snapchat, taking advantage of all the powerful capabilities Lens Studio offers!

Start your new era now and share your most iconic work with millions of Snapchatters worldwide.
