Regular improvements based on organizer feedback to make hackathon management simpler and more reliable.
Completely redesigned how hackathons handle competitions and awards. Organize by tracks, sponsor challenges, and overall prizes. Assign winners directly from the results page with our new award management panel.
Results page now features a two-column layout with integrated winner selection. See all submissions alongside available awards, assign winners with one click, and track progress visually.
Setting up voting is now easier than ever with our new wizard. Choose your voting method, configure criteria, and launch voting in minutes. Smart defaults get you started faster.
Visual badges now clearly identify competition types across the platform. Instantly see if a submission is competing for overall prizes, track awards, or sponsor challenges.
Added dedicated support for sponsor challenges. Create special competitions with sponsor-specific awards, separate from main tracks but fully integrated into judging.
HackHQ is now available! The all-in-one hackathon management platform that lets you focus on innovation, not administration. Set up in 30 minutes, run without stress, and save 40+ hours on hackathon logistics.
Everything loads instantly now. Smart data caching keeps your dashboards responsive even with hundreds of submissions. Handle hackathons with 1000+ participants smoothly and reliably.
Your account is now more secure and easier to access. Sign in with Google for one-click access, or add two-factor authentication for extra protection on sensitive hackathon data.

Selected hackathon organizers are now testing HackHQ. Initial feedback: "This would have saved me an entire weekend of prep work."
