Round 2 asks shortlisted teams for a working AI prototype, a README covering approach and architecture, a demonstration video, and a public GitHub repository with the source code.
Round 1 is a deck and a short video rather than a build, so the framing of the problem carries the entry before any code exists. (source)

8 open calls to check before 15 Aug 2026

brabble.ai — Thu, 13 Aug 2026 20:14:15 +0000

I got tired of opening the same handful of hackathon sites and still finding good events after registration had closed. This is the shortlist I wanted instead: the open calls with the nearest deadlines, with enough detail to decide whether each one deserves another tab.

These listings were open when Brabble refreshed its index on 14 Aug 2026, 1:41 AM IST. Dates move, prize pages change, and organisers sometimes extend deadlines. Use the official link under each entry before making plans.

How I made the cut

I filtered Brabble's live index to hackathons, removed anything whose deadline had already passed, and sorted the remainder by the registration deadline. Where a prize, fee, team size, or eligibility rule was missing from the feed, the organiser link beside it is the place to check.

The full live hackathon list updates as Brabble rereads its source platforms. It is a better bookmark than this article because expired entries disappear and new calls move in automatically.

Data: Brabble.ai and the organiser pages linked above. Brabble is a discovery index, not the organiser. Registration happens on the official source.
