Herackthon is open to everyone, at every skill level and background. True to our theme, “Hack for Her, Build for All,” we welcome developers, designers, writers, and strategists alike. Every participant must complete registration with a valid email address.
Team Size
Teams may have 5 participants or fewer. Solo entries and smaller teams are welcome. Each person may compete on only one team.
Original Work
Projects must be conceived and built during the event window. You may use open source libraries, public APIs, and AI tools, as long as they are properly licensed and credited. Previously built projects are not eligible.

Your team retains full ownership of the code, designs, and intellectual property you create. By taking part, you grant ZILIUDI a nonexclusive, royalty free license to display, demo, and promote your project (including its name, screenshots, and pitch) for event and marketing purposes.

By registering and attending, every participant consents to being photographed, filmed, and recorded during the event, and to ZILIUDI using that media (including your name, likeness, and project) across our website, social media, and marketing channels at no cost. Please let an organizer know in advance if you have any concerns.
Code of Conduct
We are committed to a safe, welcoming, and inclusive space for all. Discrimination, harassment, or abusive behavior toward any participant, mentor, judge, or organizer will not be tolerated and may lead to removal from the event without refund or prize eligibility.
Judging & Awards
A panel of judges evaluates each project on impact, execution, originality, and traction with real users. Teams must complete the required submissions and pitch to be eligible for prizes. The judges’ decisions are final.
