Join our latest Frontend Challenge: Halloween Edition πŸ¦‡

We're back with another Frontend Challenge, and this time we're getting into the Halloween spirit! πŸŽƒπŸ‘»

Running through November 9, Frontend Challenge: Halloween Edition invites you to showcase your frontend skills with spooky creativity.

Whether you're a CSS wizard, a JavaScript sorcerer, or somewhere in between, this challenge is the perfect opportunity to build something fun and sharpen your skills.

We hope you give it a try!

The Prompts

CSS Art: Halloween

Create a work of art using primarily CSS! Let Halloween inspire you - jack-o-lanterns, haunted houses, creepy spiders, or anything else the season brings to mind!

CSS Art Submission Link

Note: We're now allowing a sprinkle of JavaScript in CSS Art submissions! However, judging will continue focus primarily on the CSS component, so keep JavaScript usage light and purposeful. The star of the show should still be your CSS skills.

Perfect Landing: Halloween

Build a polished, functional landing page with a Halloween theme. This could be for a halloween history lesson, a fictional product, halloween event, or anything you can imagine as long as it captures the spirit of the season and demonstrates excellent frontend fundamentals.

Perfect Landing Submission Template

Note: You may now use JavaScript, TypeScript, Dart, WebAssembly, or any other browser-compatible language/runtime in your Perfect Landing submissions! Show us what modern web development can do.

Judging Criteria and Prizes

CSS Art submissions will be evaluated on:

  • Creativity
  • Effective Use of CSS
  • Aesthetic Outcome

Perfect Landing submissions will be evaluated on:

  • Accessibility
  • Usability and User Experience
  • Creativity
  • Code quality

Prizes

Each prompt will will receive a DEV++ Membership and an exclusive DEV Badge. All Participants with a valid submission will receive a completion badge on their DEV profile.

How To Participate

Good luck everyone!

You may now use JavaScript, TypeScript, Dart, WebAssembly, or any other browser-compatible language/runtime in your Perfect Landing submissions!

We added this mostly just to clarify that within frontend tech you have a lot of flexibility, but if anybody wants to wow us with unique non-JS experiences have at it!
