Description

Welcome to Germany's biggest student-run hackathon!

The Hacktival aims to bring hackers from all kinds of backgrounds and experience levels together to create something awesome in the span of two days. Participants get to hone their skills, make new friends and potentially win in one of the categories.

We have a free main category where you can make whatever you want to win 3000€! Plus, you get to code at a pretty fancy venue - the Hacktival takes place in a big museum :)

You can submit any idea in this category. Be it a web-app, a Haskell API or a creative piece of digital art, our jurors will decide which project is the strongest overall.
