We're doing a world-wide, virtual hackathon!!!
Hackers will have four full weeks to work on their project submissions . One week before the live broadcast of Neo4j Online Developer Expo and Summit (NODES 2019), we will publish the projects and allow the global Neo4j community and Neo4j staff to vote on the winners.
You can participate as an individual hacker, form your own team with colleagues or friends (up to 4 people per team), or form a team with others (people you don't know!) 
from the global Neo4j community.
To participate, you must first register yourself as an individual participant. More information will be provided to you via email in the next coming weeks.
The Theme
Shhh… can’t tell you yet! The theme will be announced September 2nd.
The Prizes
Community votes + Neo4j staff votes will determine the winning teams. Winners will be announced immediately after the NODES 2019 keynote (featuring Neo4j CEO, Emil Eifrem).
The top three winning teams receive:
- Flight, hotel, and tickets to GraphConnect 2020 in Times Square
- Free-registration during training day sessions (at GraphConnect 2020)
- Private-access to the invite-only Ecosystem Summit (at GraphConnect)
- Meet-and-greet with one (or more) of the Neo4j Executive Staff
- One-hour poster session in Developer Zone at GraphConnect to present the project
- Winners and project will be showcased on a Neo4j.com blog post
- Winners and project will be featured in our This Week in Neo4j newsletter
Can’t travel? No problem! We will make sure we have amazing prizes for you, too, and will announce them in the upcoming weeks.
