Hackathon software with teams, project submissions and judging built in.

Create the event, set up tickets and registration questions, and publish it. Turn on the Hackathon Pack from Manage event, or when you publish, for $300. Registered attendees then form teams and enter their projects on the event page. You manage teams, read projects and run judging from the Teams manager.

One person creates the team and becomes its captain. The team gets a 6-character code, and teammates join by entering it on the event page. There are no invite links.

They switch on "Looking for a team" and add a short note. Every registered attendee can see who is looking and message them, so solo attendees can also form teams with each other. Someone who wants to work alone can start a project on their own.

Four people by default. You can choose 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8 or 10. If you lower it below a team’s current size, nobody is removed, and new joins are checked against the new size.

Yes. To create or join a team, a person signs in to Eventship and has a confirmed registration for the event. Someone waiting on approval can join once you approve them. You can place any confirmed attendee on a team yourself.

Each team has one project on the event page. Any teammate can edit it, and it saves as they type, so there is no button to miss. A project counts once it has a title and a description. At your deadline, whatever each team has saved is what counts.

A title, a tagline, a description, links to the code, a demo and a video, the technologies it was built with, and up to 5 images. Only the title and the description are needed for it to count.

Yes. A team can mark its project ready. You see how many teams are ready, still working, or have not started, and you can read each project. Marking ready is optional: every project with a title and a description counts at the deadline.

Yes. Turning on the Hackathon Pack sets it to one hour before your event ends, and you can move it until judging starts. Moving it later after it has passed opens projects again.

Yes. Download a CSV with one row per project: the team, everything the team entered, and each member’s name and email.

Not while your hackathon runs. A team sees its own project, and organizers see every project. Once you publish the winners, every judged project is on your event page with its team’s names. Teams are told this on their project before the deadline.

Yes. Lock teams with the switch in the Teams manager. Attendees can no longer create, join, leave or rename teams, and you can still make changes. Teams can keep editing their project until the deadline.

Yes, as part of the Hackathon Pack. Add judges by email or from your attendees, and each one gets a private link to judge from, never their own team’s project. Each judge ranks up to 3, and may pick one project for each extra category you add, such as Best design. You see the points, choose the winners and publish them on your event page.

No. Your judges rank the projects and you choose the winners. There is no public or people’s-choice voting.

$300 per event, paid once. It includes Teams. Once the Pack is on, it stays on for that event, and the payment is not refunded. If you only need teams, Teams alone is $50 per event.
