Our jury will choose three winners from the top 10 contributors according to code quality and relevance of commits for the project. The jury also takes other contributions like submitted scrum reports and technical blog posts into account, but of course awesome code is the most important item on the list. Other participants will have the chance to win vouchers to attend Open Tech events in the region and will get certificates of participation. Sign up here now.

A team of over 30 mentors and jury members from 10 different countries supports participants of the contest.

Participants should take the time to read through the contest FAQ and familiarize themselves with the introductory information and Readme.md of each project before starting work on an issue.

The website codeheat.org has a list of questions and answers. Developers interested in the contest can also contact mentors on our Slack channel [Get a Slack Invite].

If you make at least four commits labeled “hacktoberfest” before 31st October you can also win a Hacktoberfest T-shirt (additional sign up required here).
