## About

Devpost is a hackathon platform for developers who want to join hackathons and for organizations that host them. It is not a general product launch board. It lists hackathons, and participants submit projects to a specific hackathon. The home page shows online and in-person hackathons with prize amounts and participant counts, and groups them by themes such as Beginner Friendly, Machine Learning/AI and Web. To submit, a person registers for a hackathon with a Devpost account and then completes a 4 step submission form during that hackathon's submission period. Standard fields include a submission name, a tagline of 140 characters, a text description, and optional image gallery, video demo link and try it out link. The pages reviewed do not state a participant price, a review time or a link type.

## How to submit

Register for a hackathon with a Devpost account, then complete the 4 step submission form (5 steps if the organizer adds custom questions) before the submission period ends. Standard fields are submission name, tagline, built with list, teammates, text description, try it out link, image gallery, video demo link and agreement to the terms.
