Theme

The HackVirginia team challenges you to build software that makes a difference in the community. Whether that be a mobile app, a web application, or some other form of software, it will be judged based on its novelty, breadth, and potential beneficial impact on the community.

Prizes!

Compete with your peers for a chance to win valuable prizes.

Thousands of dollars in prizes will be awarded to top 3 teams. Additionally, there will be door prize giveaways!

Teams

As long as your team does not exceed 5 participants, then you can work with anyone else who has registered.

We encourage you to reach out to your fellow hackers from other schools, as this is a great opportunity to make new friends and participate in a unique collaborative experience.
