Project Submission
How to submit your project at a Devfolio hackathon — including fields, flow, and rules.
Devfolio allows hackers to submit their hacks with detailed project information — from tech stack to challenges faced.
Linked to your Devfolio profile
Projects submitted to Devfolio hackathons will automatically appear on your Devfolio Profile.
📋 Fields in the Project Submission Form
Here’s a breakdown of what you’ll be asked:
- Project Name — Give your hack a name!
- Tagline — One-liner elevator pitch
- Problem it solves — What does your hack address and why is it useful?
- Challenges you ran into — Share the blockers you overcame
- Technologies used — E.g., React, Node.js, Figma, Solidity
- Links — GitHub, hosted site, Figma, Drive, Play Store, etc.
- Video Demo — YouTube preferred
- Screenshots — First image becomes the project’s cover image
Image Tip
The first uploaded image becomes your project’s thumbnail or cover on Devfolio.
