We're launching something brand new: our first-ever DEV Weekend Challenge! 🎉

This is a short challenge format that mirrors a more traditional hackathon, designed to fit into your weekend. We're giving you a heads up now so you can mark your calendars!

How It Works

Our challenge prompt will be revealed at launch. You can keep an eye on the DEV Weekend Challenge page or look out for a post from DEV Team. From there, you'll have the weekend to build and submit. That's it!

Because our community spans every timezone on the planet, we've set the window so that everyone around the world gets at least a full weekend to participate.

Important Dates

  • Launch Time: Friday, Feb 27 3:00 AM UTC
  • Submissions Due: Monday, Mar 2 7:59 AM UTC

Here's what that looks like across a few timezones:

Timezone Launch Time (Local) Submissions Due (Local)
PST Thursday, Feb 26 at 7:00 PM Sunday, Mar 1 at 11:59 PM
EST Thursday, Feb 26 at 10:00 PM Monday, Mar 2 at 2:59 AM
GMT Friday, Feb 27 at 3:00 AM Monday, Mar 2 at 7:59 AM
CET Friday, Feb 27 at 4:00 AM Monday, Mar 2 at 8:59 AM
IST Friday, Feb 27 at 8:30 AM Monday, Mar 2 at 1:29 PM
JST Friday, Feb 27 at 12:00 PM Monday, Mar 2 at 4:59 PM
AEDT Friday, Feb 27 at 2:00 PM Monday, Mar 2 at 6:59 PM

While the duration of the challenge spans beyond a weekend, our goal was to ensure everyone had a full Saturday and Sunday to work on their project.
