Three Tracks

🛠

Developer Track

Build a full project over the monthly build window (days 1–21). Choose a tier (Beginner, Intermediate, or Advanced) and ship something real — an app, a library, a tool, anything.

🔒

Hacker Track

Same monthly calendar as the developer track. Submit CTF writeups, build security tools, research vulnerabilities, or run red team simulations — all on the same build, vote, and publish rhythm.

Designer Challenge

Create posters, brand kits, UI mockups, or motion graphics. Submit a PNG, JPG, or WebP image export — show your visual thinking, not just your tools.

Monthly calendar

Every track follows the same UTC+2 month rhythm: enroll and ship during the build window, vote while polls are open, then reviews wrap before results go live.
