This is a directory of hackathons (especially recurring hackathons) around the world sorted by country. In each country’s category, the list of hackathons is also categorized based on restrictions on age, location, travel reimbursement options, and more. For further details about travel reimbursement, admissions requirements, conditions, and everything else, please visit the hackathon’s website or contact the organizers for more details. This list only contains certain key details to help shorten your search for a hackathon.

In general, you should assume that you have to apply for hackathons, and for travel reimbursement if you need it. Last but not least: Always do a background check of events before you apply to or attend them (just to be safe). Locations are subject to change periodically, as venues can sometimes be a little difficult to reserve.

If you don’t see an admissions price stated, it is still likely to be free. Hackathons that charge for admission are uncommon.

Please feel free to contact me about any additions to this hackathon list via the Submit A Hackathon page.
