Ultimate 2026 Hackathon Calendar
Create the ultimate global 2026 hackathon + contest calendar spanning all industries (AI, fintech, climate, health, Web3, cybersecurity, gov/space, education, gaming, hardware, data science, design, social impact, etc.). Include every major online or hybrid event that supports remote participation, and prioritize high-payout competitions (largest prize pools, grants, bounties, venture awards). The output must be a month-by-month 2026 master calendar plus a rolling “always-open” bounty/competition list, designed to help me enter as many as possible and maximize expected winnings. For each event: exact dates (open/close, submission deadline, demo day), timezone, eligibility, team size, themes/tracks, required tech/constraints, IP rules, judging criteria, prize pool breakdown (cash + grants + credits), payout proof/track record, sponsor quality, link to official rules, and whether it’s fully online. Add a “ROI score” (prize pool × win probability ÷ estimated build time) and a “stack reusability score” indicating how easily one product can be adapted across events. Then produce a portfolio strategy: 3–5 “core products” that can be submitted to multiple hackathons with modular extensions per theme, mapping each core product to the best-fit contests across 2026. Also include a submission ops plan (templates, pitch deck skeleton, demo video checklist, judging optimization tactics, team roles, timeline). Finally, identify overlap clusters (events with similar tracks/requirements) and propose a sequenced build roadmap so a single codebase can be extended efficiently to fit each submission while staying compliant with rules.
