Registration opens on September 1st and ends on December 4th. The entry fee is 250 CZK (or €10) per team.

The first stage—the "Nomination Round"—last from September 14th to January 15th; during this time, participants learn the necessary technologies and build a basic yet functional web application. Both the Nomination Round and the Competition Round take place online.

The Competition Round lasts from February 8th to March 5th. In addition to coding, students practice effective communication with a client who provides the project specifications for this round. From the start of the Competition Round, participants have access to industry mentors who assist with specific challenges related to the assignment.

The top teams will then head to the Faculty of Informatics at Masaryk University in Brno for the intensive Grand Final, held from April 2nd to 4th. There, participants will apply the knowledge gained in previous rounds to develop a complete application in a hackathon-style format.

Throughout the competition, we publish educational articles on our website covering topics such as version control with Git, working with Docker, front-end design, and back-end development. These articles, along with other materials in the submission system, are freely available. We also share short educational videos (Reels) and posts on our social media channels.

Referral program

After registering a team and paying the entry fee, participants can find their unique referral code in the submission system. Then, teams that enter this referral code during registration receive a 50 CZK (€2) discount on the entry fee. At the same time, the original team associated with that code enters a competition for an exciting prize! The more teams that register using their code, the greater their chances of winning the prize.
