This event is brought to you by the IndieStack community and is free to members.

How to pick a project: You can bring an existing project or start a new project. Either way, you'll have to set a public goal for that project. Project must be your own and not client or employer work.

Teams: You can work alone or work in groups of up to 4. If you're setting out to build and ship a brand new project within one session, we encourage you to find partners via the hashtag #indiehackathon prior to the event.

Hackathon Size: We will allow up to 60 participants per hackathon. If fewer than 15 people register, we may

Judging and prizes: At the end of the day, all individuals and teams will briefly present their work and the group as a whole will vote on a 1st, 2nd and 3rd place winner based on a set of criteria. Winners will win cash prizes of $75 (1st), $30 (2nd) and $15 (3rd).

Gathering Remotely: We'll gather on Zoom for kick off, mid-day break and presentations. During the day, we'll chat via Slack.

Time: The hackathon will be held from 9am EST to 6pm EST. The first 30-45 minutes will consist of introductions and goal setting. Then, we will hack from 9:45am until 1:00pm. We will have a 45-minute lunch and socialization break. Then, we'll hack again from 1:45 until 5pm. During the last hour, we'll present our work, judge and announce winners.
