Rules & Guidelines

Eligibility

Participants must be at least 18 years old. Employees of Convex, hackathon sponsors or cohosts, and their immediate family members are not eligible to participate. Submit before 12 PM PT on November 17th to vibeapps.dev.

The Hackathon IS NOT open to: Individuals who are residents of, or Organizations domiciled in, a country, state, province or territory where the laws of the United States or local law prohibits participating or receiving a prize in the Hackathon (including, but not limited to, Quebec, Russia, Crimea, Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Syria and any other country designated by the United States Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control).

Submission requirements

All submissions must be made by the deadline. Projects should be original and not violate any intellectual property rights. Each submission must include TanStack Start and Convex and use hackathon cohost or partner integrations.

Can I submit a new or existing app before October 29?

Only new apps started on or after October 29 at 11 AM PT will qualify for submission.

How submissions are judged

The judges will review your app based on 1) how well you use TanStack Start with Convex and the hackathon co-host/sponsors' integrations, 2) creativity and quality of your full-stack app, 3) video demo showing how you built your app, less talk, more demo, and 4) bonus points for social shares on LinkedIn or Twitter/X. Winners will be announced on Monday, November 24th.

Prizes

Winners will receive cash prizes, via cash or cards or credits or swag determined by the hackathon coshost. Prizes are non-transferable and cannot be exchanged for other items.

What can I use to build my full-stack app?

Feel free to use your favorite IDE (e.g., Claude, Cursor, GitHub Copilot, or any other IDE) to build your app.

Can I submit more than one app to the hackathon?

Yes! Build as many apps as you want and submit them all. Keep cooking.

Do I have to share my source code to participate in the hackathon?

When submitting your app on vibeapps.dev, please share the GitHub repo. If you would like to keep your repo private, invite wayne@convex.dev to it.
