👥 Every Participant

Every valid participant will have their name and project listed on the dedicated PDB Hackathon Participants page.

Build something. Earn your place. Leave your mark. 🏆

The participants showcase page is not made now, it will be made when 1ST participant participates

🏅 Recognition

All valid participants will be listed on the official PDB Hackathon 2026 Participants page.
