For organizers
Host your hackathon on HackHoster
It’s free, and you set it up yourself. You decide the rules, the judging, and the prizes. We list it on Explore Hackathons and handle registration, teams, and submissions.
Create a hackathonPublish in minutes
Fill in your overview, prizes, schedule, and rules. A checklist shows what’s left, and you can publish the moment it’s done. No fees, no review queue.
Registrations & teams
Builders register in one click. They can invite teammates, ask to join a team, or find people in your participant directory.
Guided submissions
A step-by-step submission form that saves as teams go. They can upload a demo video or link one, add images, and answer your own questions.
Winners & reputation
Pick winners for each prize and announce them all at once. Builders get verified wins and reputation on their portfolios.
Announcements
Post an update once: it shows on your Updates tab, goes to registrants by email, and can be cross-posted to your Discord. Builders can ask questions in Discussions.
Your data, exportable
See every submission and participant in one place, and export both as CSV files to judge however you like.
HackHoster doesn’t hold or distribute prize money. You, the organizer, deliver the prizes you list. See the Terms.
