What You Get
The top prize is the Forge Award: $300 in cash (approximately ₹27,600) for one winning project. Separate awards also recognise a standout first-time builder (First Build Award), the most unconventional solution (Disruptor Award), and the project with the deepest tangible impact (Community Champion Award). There is no strict theme — you can build for education, mental health, accessibility, the environment, or any social problem. Mentors are available throughout the hackathon to help you when you get stuck, and submissions are judged on build quality, real-world impact, creativity, user experience, and clarity of submission.
