Sitecore Hackathon 2025
The 2025 Sitecore Hackathon is a free, online, community driven event organized by Akshay Sura and supported by community judges. Teams that have signed up by 6 pm EST on February 21, 2025 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 7th 2025 at 8 PM EST to Saturday March 8th 2025 at 8 PM EST. The ideas will be announced an hour before the Hackathon starts on March 7th.

Deliverables
Please read carefully and thoroughly to ensure you have not missed any of the requirements.
- Code. Notwithstanding the fact that we 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 will look for the following with no exceptions:
- Cleanliness of code.
- Clear documentation.
- 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 can't count it as complete. Here are the items we expect to be included, which must be pushed to the GitHub repo in the readme:
- A short YouTube video (2-3 minutes) describing your project submission purpose, setup instructions, and how to use it.
- One to two pages of documentation describing your project submission purpose, with screenshots of the finished product and installation steps with screenshots where appropriate.
Prizes
The winning teams will each receive a $150 Amazon gift card per team member, making the total $450 per team for a three-person team.

We will showcase your company logo or your team photo on this website. No purchase necessary. Must be 21 years or older at the time of entry. Additional terms, conditions, and restrictions apply.
