THE RULES OF ENGAGEMENT

HUMAN-CRAFTED CODE

This battleground tests your actual skills. While standard documentation is fine, entries found heavily relying on generative AI (ChatGPT, Copilot, etc.) for core logic may be subject to disqualification.

30-DAY BUILD WINDOW

The prompt drops on the 1st. You have until the last day of the month at 11:59 PM UTC to submit. Late entries are strictly rolled over to the next month. In that case the same entry fee can be adjusted for next month's battle.

ON-DEMAND REVIEWS

To ensure a fair playing field, our jury thoroughly reviews top entries and reserves the right to request a brief, live code walk-through before finalizing the winners. if and when required.

THIS MONTH'S OBJECTIVE

October 2026 Challenges

3 Divisions of Contest to Choose From — Participate at Your Level

For Juniors🥉

For Pros🥈

For Masters🥇

For Juniors🥉

Build a Responsive Pricing Table

Your Mission: Build a 3-tier pricing table using only HTML and CSS (Flexbox or CSS Grid). It must be fully responsive, scaling gracefully from mobile to desktop. Include a functional toggle switch that visually updates the prices from “Monthly” to “Annually” (vanilla JavaScript allowed only for the toggle).

Participant Criteria: Open to Grades 6-12. Valid Student ID required if selected for review.

Rewards: $100 Cash + Free BWS Training Access

Entry Fee: $9 single challenge participation.

For Pros🥈

Dynamic Kanban Board with Local Storage

Your Mission: Build a Kanban-style task board (To Do, In Progress, Done) using vanilla JavaScript. Users must be able to add, edit, delete, and drag-and-drop tasks between columns. The state must persist using the browser’s Local Storage so data is not lost on page refresh. No external libraries (like React or jQuery) allowed.

Participant Criteria: Open to College Students & Hobbyists. GitHub/GitLab repository link required.

Rewards: $250 Cash + 1-Year Premium Hosting

Entry Fee: $19 single battle participation.

For Masters🥇

Asynchronous API Dashboard

Your Mission: Build a dashboard that fetches and displays live data for three distinct entities simultaneously using a public REST API (e.g., weather data, crypto prices, or user generation). The UI must include a search bar to dynamically append new data instances, handle API error states gracefully (e.g., 404 handling), and display custom loading skeletons while fetching.

Participant Criteria: Open to Professionals & Agency Developers. GitHub/GitLab repository link required.

Rewards: $500 Cash + Hall of Fame Feature

Entry Fee: $29 single battle participation.

FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Is this a live hackathon? Do I need to screen-record my coding?

No. This is a 100% asynchronous, remote battleground. You do not need to record your screen, be on a webcam, or code live. You build your project locally at your own pace, on your own schedule, anytime before the monthly deadline.

2. Can I participate if I discover the challenge late in the month?

Yes! You can register and submit your project at any point before the final day of the month at 11:59 PM UTC. Just keep in mind that joining later means you have less time to build, so we recommend registering as soon as you are ready.

3. What if I am just a beginner? Is this competition too hard for me?

Not at all. That is exactly why we created the Junior Builder division. It is specifically designed for students and early-stage learners to test their foundational skills in a fair environment, without having to compete against industry professionals.

4. Am I allowed to use Google, Stack Overflow, or standard documentation?

Absolutely. Real developers rely on documentation. We only prohibit using generative AI (like ChatGPT or GitHub Copilot) to write your core logic or build the project for you. Standard research, searching for syntax, and basic debugging are completely allowed.

5. How do I actually submit my code, and in what format?

Click "Accept This Challenge" and you will be prompted to paste a public URL to your code (a GitHub/GitLab repository for Pros/Masters, or a Cloud Drive link for Juniors) directly on the intake form. We do not accept ZIP files or email attachments. Once your entry fee is processed on the checkout screen, your submission is officially locked in.

6. How do I know what a "winning" project looks like?

The jury grades purely on three metrics: functional logic (does it successfully execute the mission brief?), clean architecture, and responsive UI. Check out the "Last Month's Winners" Hall of Fame above to see the caliber of code that takes the top prize.

7. How and when are the winners announced?

After the monthly deadline passes, our jury reviews all qualified submissions. If your project takes the top spot in your division, we will contact you directly via the email you provided to coordinate your cash payout and activate your digital rewards.

8. Does Business Web Solutions own the code I submit?

No. You retain 100% intellectual property ownership of everything you build. We only ask for permission to feature your winning project, name, and category in our BWS Hall of Fame to give you global recognition.
