What You Get
Participation is free, and winners take home a share of a prize pool of ₹50,000+ spread across four tracks: CSS Battle, Vibe Hackathon, Dummy Stock Market, and Prompt to Picture. Winnings are outright competition prizes — not a loan, and no equity is taken. The value for a builder goes beyond the cash: the Vibe Hackathon is a 6-hour product-building sprint where you build and demo a working solution; CSS Battle gives frontend (HTML/CSS) practice; Dummy Stock Market adds virtual-trading strategy exposure; and Prompt to Picture builds AI prompt-engineering skills. The in-person event at PW Institute of Innovation brings together students, builders, coders, designers, and tech enthusiasts, and participation itself builds portfolio-worthy work.
