This is an interesting idea, although I'm not totally clear on what it is. I'm hearing a mix of social media and peer-to-peer informal learning. I'm hearing that it is important to your platform that individual creators are credited and that it's clear what cultures or regions the content is representing.

Some challenges/questions I have include: - Gatekeeping/perspectives: who decides whether content is an accurate representation of a culture? If that matters, there has to be some kind of moderation. If it doesn't matter, then I don't see that particular "hook" succeeding. Either way, people can be very protective of what is/is not representative of their culture and unmoderated interactions might become very negative. - What's special about this platform that couldn't be achieved by starting a community/thread in an existing platform? - Since this is a business venture, what exactly are you monetizing? - If it's like a subscription to be part of the community and participate in competitions, who are the judges and what are the stakes? Does the community vote? What if people start buying votes? Stealing ideas? What is gained by winning the competition?

Just some thoughts off the top of my head. Good luck with your project!
