FAQ
Anyone with a Macaly account. Free or paid. Any experience level, any country. If you are new to Macaly, you can sign up from this page and get 10M credits to start building.
Any Macaly project that fits the summer theme. It can be brand new or something you've been working on already. You can submit multiple projects and each one is judged independently. You can also update and resubmit anytime before the deadline.
Starting July 7, you can submit directly inside Macaly from your project. Add a short description and record a 1-minute video walkthrough. It's optional, but it gives you a higher chance to win.
After the build window closes on July 14, a Macaly team reviews every entry. We look at whether the project works, how well it fits the summer theme, the user experience, and whether it solves a real use case. We're not looking for perfection. We're looking for something real that someone would actually use.
1st place gets 200M credits, 2nd gets 130M, 3rd gets 100M, and 4th to 10th place gets 10M credits each. That's 500M credits total.
We will announce the winners 1 week after the hackathon finishes. Once we announce the winners, the credits will land in your Macaly account and never expire.
