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.

In Application Review hackathons, once hackers apply and subsequently submit their profiles for review, they await application decisions from the hackathon organizer. Once accepted for the hackathon, they are expected to confirm their participation by RSVPing and get themselves checked-in by the organizing team.
Once hackers apply and submit their profiles for online hackathons, they are all set to submit their projects during the submission period as either individuals or part of a team.
