I don't think it means that you aren't eligible for badges for helping. So if you contribute in the Help and Community threads, I think that means you can still earn badges.
The post seems to imply that all parts of the Hackathon are 18+ to participate. It is likely there for legal reasons, and I would think that if you should be able to participate if your parents approve.
Hello! Unfortunately, DEV hackathons are currently only open to community members 18 years of age and older. We would absolutely love to open this up to younger community members, but we are legally unable to at this time. We revisit the topic frequently as a team and intend to open up our challenges to younger folks if and when it's possible for us to do so. I'm so sorry to bear this news. We really value having all of you as part of DEV.
It's normal for contests to be 18+ due to prizes and legal ruling.
You can ask the dev people if it's OK if you submit but are not considered as a potential winner.
Yeah, I've already submitted my project. It's completely fine if I don't win, or win and not get prizes. atleast I got to learn stuff, that's all that matters
I want to participate, but, the post says that it's
Open only to 18+.So, does that mean I'm not eligible ? :(
