About a month ago, we announced our first-ever Twilio Hackathon.
Participants were tasked to create an app using any of the Twilio APIs in the following project categories: COVID-19 Communications, Engaging Engagements, Interesting Integrations, and Exciting X-Factors. We were blown away by the quality of these applications, and picking just a handful of winners out of 200+ submissions has been quite the challenge for the judges.
After much deliberation between the DEV and Twilio teams, I'm excited to share that the final results are in!
Thanks again to everyone who participated in the hackathon, and to Twilio for teaming up with us to make it happen. Whether or not you’ve made the short list, all participants who submitted a valid project will receive a $50 gift card to the DEV Shop and a Twilio Hackathon badge on their DEV profile.
The Twilio team will follow up with each winner about their prizes within the next week, and all DEV prizes will be emailed to you within the next two weeks.

Excited to start sending out these DEV Shop Gift Cards!! and badges
Wow this is so unexpected! Thankyou! 😊
Thanks Peter and congrats to everyone - wonderful projects all around!
The winning projects are clearly well picked in my opinion. Just finished reading through the entries of the finalists.
Thank you very much and congrats to the winners :) This was really fun
This is totally unexpected! Thank you @devteam and @twilio ! And congratulations everyone!
It's not bolded but it does say in the post: "and all DEV prizes will be emailed to you within the next two weeks." :)
I'm really upset that work kept me too busy to participate, I didn't realize Twilio could do more than send text messages and I saw a ton of possibilities. I think I will definitely add it to my toolkit for embedded projects...as soon as I find that mythical work-life balance again.
We'll hopefully host more hackathons in the future! For embedded projects you should also check out our Twilio IoT products :) Let me know if you have any questions about it and I'm happy to connect you with our IoT Evangelist
Well done to all the winners 👏👏👏, amazing projects and thanks to twilio for the fun hackaton. Mehdi and I had a blast and working on our small solution and will continue to use Twilio in our venture! All the best 🎉
Congratulations everyone! We had an incredible amount of amazing submissions 👏 well done everyone!
@dkundel I received the participation badge but not the $50 DEV shop credit.
Can you please help me?
Hi Aditya, we’ll send you an email to get that sent your way.
Sure.
@peter I have still not received that $50 credit. Is there a problem?
I'm so happy for the winners of the hackathon 🤸. Such an effort has been put in by everyone.
What!? How exciting! This was such a fun and difficult challenge, and it was so nice to see the work everyone did! I'm really loving all the new stuff I learned during this. Thanks for giving me something to do from home! Remote hackathons FTW!
This is a huge honor for my collaborator and I. Thanks again for putting in all of the work to host, judge, and facilitate something special.
Wow! These projects are just incredible. Really loved them. Congratulations to everyone who participated 🎉
Congratulations to everyone who participated! That you could focus and dedicate yourselves to these projects in spite of the pandemic, is admirable indeed! I applaud your achievements! 👏 👏 👏 👏
Congrats everyone 🎉
Congratulations to all 🎉 Great ideas and implementation out there. It was a fun experience to participate in this Hackathon 🦄
Congrats everyone.
Congratulations to everyone who took part! I hope you all enjoyed the hackathon, learned something, built something, maybe discovered some other developers to follow and get the most out of the DEV swag shop!
👏🦄❤️
Congratulations on all winners and everyone submitted the projects! Some of these projects are amazing! So much creativity and fun things you can do with Twilio API!
Unfortunately for me, I had to withdraw the competition for personal reasons and I hope I can get to participate again in the future.
Again, congrats!
Congratulations to everyone. 😄
