About

The Prom Virgo Challenge is an online hackathon organised by Prometheus, offering a total prize pool of $1,500. The challenge is open to participants worldwide, including Indian developers,

designers, and AI enthusiasts. It is designed to be beginner-friendly, making it an ideal entry point for those new to hackathons while still offering meaningful opportunities for experienced builders. Who Should Apply The challenge welcomes individuals and teams from diverse backgrounds. Whether you are a student, a professional developer, a designer, or a machine learning enthusiast, you can participate. The beginner-friendly tag indicates that prior hackathon experience is not required, and the event encourages first-time participants to join. Tracks / Themes The competition focuses on two primary areas: Design and Machine Learning/AI. Participants are encouraged to build projects that leverage AI/ML technologies or demonstrate strong design thinking. The exact problem statements or tracks are detailed on the official Devpost page, where participants can find specific guidelines and submission requirements. Format & Timeline The hackathon runs from August 31, 2026, to September 19, 2026, giving participants approximately three weeks to develop and submit their projects. The event is fully online, allowing participation from anywhere in the world. Submissions are judged based on criteria likely to include innovation, technical execution, design quality, and impact, as typical for Devpost-hosted challenges. The registration deadline is September 19, 2026, which coincides with the end of the competition. Prizes The total prize pool is $1,500, which will be distributed among the winning projects. The exact breakdown by rank is not specified, but the prize amount is confirmed. Winners may also receive recognition on the Prometheus platform and the Devpost community. Eligibility The competition is open to all participants, with no geographic restrictions mentioned. Indian teams and individuals are eligible to participate. The event is beginner-friendly, so no specific technical expertise is required beyond the ability to create a project in the relevant theme areas.

While specific details about the organisation are not provided in the raw data, the use of Devpost as the hosting platform suggests a structured and well-managed competition process.
