I enjoy competing hackathons, which range from 24-48 hours and form a complete business plan, app design, dev and even an MVP. Here are a few of the hackathons I’ve participated in and placed in. Not all have prizes and placements but the ones that do are below. For tips on how to win a hackathon, check out my post on that.
