How are applicants selected?

Build on ICP Hackathon curators aim at selecting the best, most participative and motivated, programmers and entrepreneurs. For this they rely on what candidates fill in their profiles (their pitches and personal bios). CVs don't matter, please don't paste full CVs as an application pitch. What matters is your potential, experience and your passion for technology.

Build on ICP Hackathon is free for all selected candidates.

I am new to the ICP ecosystem, can I attend?

Absolutely! This hackathon is tailored to attendees who have experience with web3 technologies and are interested in building on ICP for the first time.

How many people can be on a team?

You can have a team of up to 3 people.

Do you pay for the attendees' transportation and/or accommodation costs?

Unfortunately, the hackathon organisers are not able to cover travel or other expenses for attendees.

Is BUILD on ICP happening in person? Can I take part remotely?

It's a hybrid hackathon.

The office in Lisbon will be accessible throughout the entire duration of the hackathon, providing a space for builders to collaborate and meet each other.

 It will finish with an IRL Showcase event in Lisbon, Portugal on 12th of July, where we will announce the winners.

I was selected but can't attend the event, what do I do?

Please let us know. Spots are limited and it would be nice if another candidate could go instead.

When will the schedule be available?

A detailed schedule will be available closer to the event.

Will the talks be recorded?

Unless the speaker states otherwise, every online talk will be recorded and available online in the weeks following the event.

Why is the official language English?

We have attendees coming from all over the world. English is usually well understood and accepted. Our main motivation is technology and talent, and these are global attributes, so our main 'language' is what we use to code.
