Our friends at Bolt just officially kicked off the World's Largest Hackathon, an awesome competition with over $1,000,000 in prizes!
We love that this hackathon is breaking down barriers and welcoming new participants into the ecosystem. If you’re not yet familiar with Bolt, it’s a powerful AI-platform that enables anyone with an idea to build production-ready applications without traditional coding skills.
Whether you're a seasoned developer or a first-time entrepreneur with a vision, we hope you give this hackathon a try!
Community Support
The main Hackathon entry process will take place via DevPost, but we’ll be supporting the World’s Largest Hackathon in a variety of ways!
Livestream Events
Starting next week, we'll be simulcasting as many hackathon-related livestreams as possible directly on the DEV homepage. Here are the first three sessions:
- Domain Expertise with Entri - June 2, 2025 at 9:00AM PT
- So what is an API anyways? With Pica - June 3, 2025 at 9:00AM PT
- Building Conversational Video Agents with Tavus and Bolt - June 4, 2025 at 9:00AM PT
Judging
@jess will be bringing her judging experience from DEV Challenges to the event and will be serving as an official judge for the hackathon! She can't wait to check out all the innovative projects that emerge from this event.
Writing Contest Coming Soon
We'll also be launching a writing contest specifically for World’s Largest Hackathon participants later this month, so stay tuned for details on how you can share your building journey and compete for exclusive DEV badges!
