Nov 9, Open registration
Nov 17, Hackathon begins
Jan 18, Closing Ceremonies
Jan 19-24, Judging
Jan 25, Winners Announced

If you're a hacker, builder, designer we want you. The hackathon is open to individuals and small teams and must be 13 years or older to participate. Teams are limited to no more than 4 members.

Before and during the hackathon, we'll provide ways for you to find other team members and to form a team. More details on this later.

Before and during the hackathon, we'll provide opportunities for developers and hackers to learn and apply what you're learning. We want you to learn and grow and, we hope, that you'll come up with an amazing app to submit for judging. Workshops will range from "how-to" to panel interviews with technical leaders in blockchain.

First and foremost, we want you to build on Harmony. Preference will go to submissions that utilize the Ethereum-to-Harmony Horizon Bridge. We'll publish a wish-list of applications we want to see on Harmony in a blog post soon. Of course, all submissions need to be linked to a public Github repository and if, selected, be ready to join demo day and present your submission as a team.

YES.
Ultimately, we don't want a bunch of applications submitted that have no users and are dead-on-arrival. We want to continue to support a select handful of projects by fast-tracking them through our Grant program. One of the workshops will discuss our Grant process. More on that later. But, yes, we do have a Grant program and would love for all submissions to be sooooo gooooood that each one receives a Grant and further support after the hackathon.

Awesome. We appreciate your support. But, no. This hackathon is for builders only.

Yeah, the phrase "Ethereum Killer" was never our favorite and we've never used it ourselves. Each chain has trade-offs and, frankly, why would we build a bridge only to tear it down? We want to work with our Ethereum partners and developers. That's how this whole ecosystem can grow is if we work together.

Glad you asked.

Be Respectful: Be kind to all participants and supportive of each other. No insults, verbal threats, or put downs will be tolerated. If you have to say something, be constructive. We're all here to learn. Go be a jerk elsewhere, not here.

Be Welcoming: We celebrate the open source community and that means we are welcoming. This hackathon is open to everyone in the world. So be cool and inclusive.

Do Something New: In an environment where everything is forked every farm imaginable is copied, do something different. If you fork something, that's ok but be sure to add your own flare to the fork. Add value, however you choose to do it.
