$3,000 Up for Grabs: DevCareer × Raenest Hackathon
Community updates: a hackathon in the making.
We’re excited to announce the DevCareer × Raenest Freelancer Hackathon.
This challenge is an opportunity for builders, designers, and writers in our community to showcase their work and compete for prizes.
Participants can submit work in three tracks:
🎨 Design — UI mockups, branding kits, social media assets, and presentation designs
✍️ Writing — Blog posts, copywriting, technical documentation, and content strategy
💻 Coding — Web apps, APIs, automation tools, and open source contributions
Your submission can be a project you have already built or something you decide to create during the hackathon week.
What matters most is showing your work, your thinking, and the value it provides.
Once the hackathon begins, participants will:
• Share their project publicly on social media (Twitter or LinkedIn)
• Tag @dev_careers and @raenest
• Submit their project using the official submission form
At the end of the challenge, we will select 30 winners across the three categories, and each winner will receive $100.
