What You Get
The competition awards a ₹1,00,000 cash pool to the top three functional builds: ₹50,000 for 1st place Grand Champion, ₹30,000 for 2nd, and ₹20,000 for 3rd. Entry is completely free. The event is positioned as a hiring hackathon — the official tagline is "Build with Lemma SDK & Get Hired" — so beyond the prize money, a strong build can put you in front of employers. You'll build on the open-source Lemma SDK, and projects are scored on problem clarity and fit (35%), product judgment (25%), execution quality (25%), and meaningful SDK utilization (15%), giving you clear targets for what a winning submission looks like.
