About this competition
FrontEnd Battle 3.0, the flagship event of the Web and Design Society, IIT Bhubaneswar, is an online coding competition designed to push frontend development skills to their limits.

The competition embraces a "vibe coded" approach, allowing the use of all AI tools without limitation.

Whether you are a seasoned developer or just starting your journey, the WebnD team at IIT Bhubaneswar welcomes you to this epic battle. Participants compete individually.
