Sitecore Hackathon 2022
The 2022 Sitecore Hackathon is a free, online, community driven event organized by Akshay Sura and supported by Sitecore. (Shout out to Pieter, Mark, and Tamas.) Teams that have signed up by 6 pm EST on February 18, 2022 have the opportunity to take part. Eligible teams will have 24 hours to build and submit a Sitecore module that best implements the idea for the Hackathon, as determined by our panel of judges. The window runs from Friday March 4th 2022 at 8 PM EST to Saturday March 5th 2022 at 8 PM EST. The ideas will be announced an hour before the Hackathon starts on Friday March 4th 2022.
Ideas for the hackathon
The ideas for the 2022 Hackathon were E-Commerce, Extend CLI, and Extend MVP Site.
The teams
Entry submission requirements
All teams must submit the following as part of their entry, no later than the end of the Hackathon on Saturday March 5th 2022 at 8 PM EST. The submitted entries must be based on Sitecore 10.2.
- Sitecore setup. The choice is yours as to how you install Sitecore locally for the Hackathon. There is no requirement on whether you set up with Docker, SIF/SIA, Sifon, SIFless, SIM, or some other creative approach. We do require that the installation steps are simple, few, and need no magic to get your submission working. We encourage you to perform a fresh install and follow your own documentation so that no steps are missed. It would be unwise to try any of these installation methods for the first time on the day of the Hackathon, because so much can go wrong. Do what you know well, and invest as much time as you can being creative on your solution.
- For those with prior experience with Docker, we provide a starter kit in a GitHub repository (thanks Anders) with a variety of options to speed things up.
Deliverables
Please read carefully and thoroughly to ensure you have not missed any of the requirements.
- Code. Notwithstanding the fact that value full creativity in your submission, we are going to be judgy here. We are judges, after all. Once your code is pushed to GitHub, we look for the following with no exceptions: cleanliness of code, clear documentation, and adherence to Sitecore best practices (Helix).
- Documentation. The documentation requirements are extremely important. If the judges are unable to get your Hackathon project running, then we cannot count it as complete. Push these to the GitHub repo readme: a short YouTube video (2-3 minutes) describing your project submission purpose, setup instructions, and how to use it; and one to two pages of documentation describing your project submission purpose, with screenshots of the finished product and installation steps where appropriate.
Prizes
The winning teams each receive a $200 Amazon gift card per team member, for a total of $600 per team for a three person team.

If Amazon gift cards are not available in the region, alternate arrangements will be made. We will showcase your company logo or your team photo on this website. No purchase necessary.
