You don’t need full firehouse access to implement this—you can use the statuses/filter API to get a feed of tweets that match a specific hash tag: https://dev.twitter.com/docs/api...

That said, I wouldn’t be surprised if Twitter helped out with this project given its scale and high profile nature.
