Hackathon on Devfolio
Devfolio offers three different hackathon modes
Devfolio offers a comprehensive suite of modes to facilitate the organization of your hackathon event. There are three distinct options available:
- Offline: This mode is tailored for hackathons that are conducted in-person.
- Online: Specifically designed for hackathons conducted entirely over digital platforms, this mode does not incorporate any application screening process.
- Online with Application Review: Ideal for those preferring an online hackathon but with a structured application vetting process. It is also apt for hybrid hackathons that combine both in-person and online elements.
We encourage you to select the mode that aligns best with your event's objectives and logistics.

🎥 Hackathon Application Flow
📜 Application Review Hackathons
(Offline & Online with Application Review)
When hackers apply to these types of hackathons:
- They submit their profile for review.
- Organizers review and accept applicants.
- Accepted hackers RSVP and are checked in.
- Submissions open after check-in is complete.
🟢 Online Hackathons
For online-only hackathons (no application review), it’s simpler:
- Hackers apply → immediately get access to submit → form/join teams → submit project by deadline.
