COMMUNITY DRIVEN AI HACKATHONS
Most hackathons are a lottery. Thousands of entries, judges skimming demos at 2x speed, and the best pitch deck wins — not the best build.
Hackyard is the opposite. Each event is a Yard: a small, capped AI hackathon where every single project actually gets seen.
One model. One theme. One weekend. Everyone builds solo with the same AI model, so nobody wins by outspending you. When the clock stops, the yard votes — and vote counts stay hidden until voting closes, so there are no bandwagons.
Free. Always will be.
Features
- Capped Yards — 20–100 builders per event, small enough that every build gets eyes on it
- One model for everyone — named at kickoff, so nobody wins on budget
- Theme drops at launch — no pre-building, everyone starts cold on the same clock
- 48 hours, solo — no teams, no gatekeepers, no pitch decks
- Community voting — one vote per builder, counts hidden until voting closes
- Permanent badges — Champion, Top 3, and Shipped live on your profile forever
- 1-year Champion sponsorship — the winner gets Hackyard's platform behind them for 365 days, not just a weekend
- Claim your spot early — watch the capacity grid fill in real time
- Open source by default — every build ships with a public repo and a demo video
Use Cases
- Indie builders who need a real deadline to actually finish something
- Developers who want to see what a frontier model can do in 48 hours
- Makers building a public track record — badges and shipped projects on a permanent profile
- Anyone burned by big hackathons where their work disappeared into a pile of 5,000 entries
- Solo builders who want the competition without the team coordination overhead
