Microsoft Azure Trial Hackathon Winners, Announced!

In February, we announced a new challenge on DEV, in partnership with our friends at Microsoft: the Microsoft Azure Trial Hackathon.

Our brilliant participants were challenged to build brand new apps using Microsoft's free trial of their Azure cloud platform. Submissions were to be filed in one of five categories: AI Aces, Computing Captains, Low-Code Legends, Java Jackpot, and Wacky Wildcards.

It's never easy for contest judges to pick just one Grand Prize winner per category and 10 runners-up and this time was no different. Even so, judges from the DEV and Microsoft Azure teams managed to pick our winners and I'm excited to share them with you today!

Let's take a look at the winning projects for the Microsoft Azure Trial on DEV!

Thank you Xavier!!

Mohit Yadav • Mar 24 '22

Congrats! 🎉 I was 90% sure you'd win in the category after reading your article, and your low-code app was so professional!

How does it feel like to win? Just curious 😃

Santhosh (sandy inspires) • Mar 24 '22

Hey Mohit, thanks, means a lot to me.
To be honest, I've won multiple hackathons in the past, so nothing new.
The first time when you win would be the time when you're butterflies would come out.
Once it becomes usual then.. Nope!
I just try to give my best! Not a perfectionist,, might be (:

Amit Wani • Mar 25 '22

Haha, sometimes surprises get the best of us! Your project was awesome, and I'm surprised it's possible to could create so much with no/low code. Time to try it out 😃
