One idea I have for this sort of contest is a live map of public data. Civic data, like in New York is a good source, as are tweets, Instagram data, etc. Things with a time and a location can very nicely be plotted to tell a story. Always a great use of realtime tech.
Online games are another really good use of this tech.
I think PWA concepts present a pretty interesting opportunity for mobile-based "party games", where nobody has to install anything, but they can all play some sort of live collaborative game on a whim.
Combining these two ideas into a game: a live "Where's Waldo?"/"Where in the world is Carmen Sandiago?" where anyone connected to the site races to try to find the character on a map. The location of the character for each "round" could be based on something fun, like highest concentration of a specific hashtag at that moment.
A PWA able to do realtime updates to schedule/timetable for a group of users. Like a group of users attending the same tuition classes wanting to set appropriate time for the common tuitions.
I would love to see a game similar to Twitch Plays Pokemon. I feel like a live chat and simple movement game combo would work really well.
Twitch Plays Pokemon was/is a livestream where anyone can enter a livestream of a computer (I think?) playing Pokemon, and the live chat would dictate what commands to do (move up, move down, hit a, hit b, etc.). When there were enough players, it was complete mayhem, but also hilarious to watch.

...maybe I'll do it myself. 🙃
I had the same idea!
