The event is listed as starting at 09:00 am PT on Friday 4 August 2023, with the main schedule ending on Sunday 13 August at 11:59 pm PT; the submission instructions separately give a deadline of 11:59 pm PT on Sunday 14 August 2023.

## Context

Supabase is pairing an async hackathon with Launch Week 8 to encourage participants to build new Open Source projects using Supabase. The event is presented as an opportunity to develop startup ideas, side projects, or indie hacks while retaining rights to submissions.

## Approach / What changed

Participants may enter individually or in teams of up to five and build any project, app, tool, or library in any language or framework. Entries must be Open Source, use Supabase in some capacity, include a source-code link, and be submitted by the stated deadline. Supabase provides development resources and community support through Discord, while judges assess creativity, functionality, visual quality, technical impressiveness, Supabase feature use, and fun.

## Takeaways

- Entries must be Open Source, use Supabase in some capacity, and include a link to the source code; AI use is optional.
- The hackathon supports individual entrants and teams of up to five, with one submission per team and no participant belonging to multiple teams.
- There are five prize categories, each with a winner and runner-up; every member of winning and runner-up teams receives a Supabase Launch Week swag kit.
