Award bold ideas. Launch future stars.

Your organization provides a custom award for this hackathon, an opportunity to showcase your products, highlight your values, and connect with future talent. You can create an award that reflects your mission and values, such as Best EDI, Strongest Pitch, or Most Out-of-the-Box Thinking, etc.

Alternatively, you can spotlight your products by offering a "Best Use of [Your Product Award]", recognizing submissions that creatively integrate your tools into their solutions.

Send Judge(s)

As an Award Sponsor, you are also invited to send representative judge(s) to review all project submissions and select the winner(s) for your award.

All awards are fully customizable, and we're more than happy to work with you to design an award tat best represents your organization.

Mentors will provide technical feedback and support to participants throughout the hackathon. These can be your organization's representatives with expertise in coding, pitching, or design, or current interns with hackathon experience and familiarity with student skills. Mentors are welcome to walk around the event space or host drop-ins at your organization's booth.
