Hackathon deadline extended by 2 days

Hey everyone,

We’ve decided to extend the hackathon by 2 more days.

Since this week shifted into weekdays and most of our participants are students, we’ve been getting a lot of emails asking for a bit more time. A lot of people want to participate or finish their projects but are tied up with school, homework, or other weekday commitments. Rather than have people rush or miss out entirely, we’re giving everyone some extra time to actually build and submit.

New deadline: 2 days from now (same time).

Thank you — seriously. Getting your project in early still comes with a slight advantage. Early submissions naturally get more review time and visibility with judges, so you’re in a strong position.

You’re also welcome to improve or update your project during the extension if you want.

There are still a lot of prizes open and waiting to be claimed. Nothing is “fully taken” — anyone who submits still has a real shot.

Also remember:

• This is a beginner-friendly hackathon

• Simple, small, or experimental projects are completely fine

• Certificates go to everyone who ships a project

• Submitting something > submitting nothing

Even a rough or last-minute idea counts. If you’ve built anything — finish it up and send it in.

We extended because people genuinely want to participate but just needed a bit more time. Use it well.
