What You Get
Winners receive cash prizes from the $1,005 total prize pool across multiple tracks, including Best Technical Solution and Most Scalable Business/Org Idea. The competition supports both technical projects (apps/software) and non-technical organizational blueprints, so students with no coding experience can compete for funding. Beyond cash, participants gain access to exclusive post-hackathon resources to launch their project, and the organizers describe prizes as a way to get the help you need to launch your idea. Participants also retain full ownership of any intellectual property they create during the hackathon. The event itself is 100% free and fully virtual.
