Congrats to our 2021 GitHub Actions Hackathon Winners!

For the second year in a row, we co-hosted the GitHub Actions Hackathon with our friends at GitHub.

This contest took place over the last month and challenged the community to create and document usable workflows that utilized GitHub Actions (— existing or newly-built). Participants picked one of five categories for their submissions: DIY Deployments, Maintainer Must-Haves, Phone-Friendly, Interesting IoT, or Wacky Wildcards.

After much deliberation between the DEV and GitHub teams, the final results are in and we're so excited to announce the winners of the 2021 GitHub Actions Hackathon.

[Michelle Mannering]

For the DEV sticker pack, you would have received an email from the DEV team. You would have also received an email from the GitHub team (ie. me 😉 ) on the 5th January regarding your prize.

Yes I did..

[Jack]

Sweet! Thank y'all so much for hosting!

By the way, do we need to do anything to receive our prizes? Thanks!

[Gracie Gregory (she/her)]

Nope! We will be in touch shortly! Just keep an eye on the inbox associated with your DEV email.

[Oscar Nevárez]

Hi @graciegregory
Do you have any ETA for that email, I'm afraid I might've missed it.

[Paula Santamaría]

Wow this is a real honor! Huge thank you to the DEV Team and GitHub.

I had a lot of fun working on my project and learned many useful things. I'm already improving the workflows on my other repos thanks to this hackathon!

[Oscar Nevárez]

Hi there!
When can I expect my awesome GitHub Swag Pack 👀?

[Michelle Mannering]

Hopefully you all have the emails. If you didn't receive one, please message me.

[Oscar Nevárez]

Hi, No. I don't think I have them. I searched again without luck

[Michelle Mannering]

We sent it to the email we have on file for you. You would have got one from me, and one from DEV. It was sent to your hotmail account. Check your junk and if you still don't have it, DM me on Twitter: twitter.com/MishManners

[Oscar Nevárez]

Thanks Michelle, I sent you a message on tw.
