THE RULES OF ENGAGEMENT

HUMAN-CRAFTED CODE

This battleground tests your practical skills. You are welcome to use generative AI (ChatGPT, Copilot, etc.) to debug or brainstorm, as long as you understand and can explain the final code you submit, full copy-paste is not recommended.

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 maintain a quality playing field, our jury reviews top entries. If you win, we might reach out for a casual chat about your build process, though it's rarely required.

November 2026 Challenges

Build Window: Nov 1, 2026 – Nov 30, 2026.

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

For Juniors🥉

For Pros🥈

For Masters🥇

For Juniors🥉

Build an Interactive Password Generator

Project Details: Build a sleek, interactive UI that generates secure, random passwords. Include a range slider to select password length (8 to 20 characters) and checkboxes to include uppercase letters, numbers, and symbols. Use HTML, CSS, and vanilla JavaScript to handle the generation logic.

Criteria: Open to School Students (preferably Grades 6-12). A Valid Student ID may be required if found suspicious entry/eligibility.

Rewards: Win $100 OR claim an equivalent (e.g. an Arduino, a Raspberry Pi or other Modules) plus 1 Year Free Hosting)

Entry Fee: $9 single challenge participation.

For Pros🥈

Build a Dynamic E-Commerce Mini-Cart

Project Details: Create a functional, off-canvas shopping cart component (a side-drawer that slides in). Users must be able to click “Add to Cart” on a mock product grid, adjust item quantities inside the drawer, delete items, and see a real-time calculating subtotal. You may use vanilla JavaScript or a framework like React/Vue. Data can be hardcoded JSON.

Rewards: Win $250 OR claim an equivalent (e.g. a Graphics Card or a DJI Mini 4K Drone)

Entry Fee: $19 single challenge participation.

For Masters🥇

Build a Full-Stack Support Ticket System

Project Details: Build a secure, full-stack support ticket portal. The frontend must feature a form capturing user details, issue category, and a detailed message.

You may build this using PHP/MySQL, Node/MongoDB, or as a custom WordPress plugin.

Criteria: Open to Freelancers, Professionals, Agency Owners & Senior Developers.

Rewards: Win $500 OR claim an equivalent (e.g. a Gaming Console or a VR Headset)

Entry Fee: $29 single challenge participation.

Mission Timeline

The Participation

Project Submission

Your time, your decision, Build at your own ease, decide your own way, no monitoring, no live building at all.

Prize & Recognition

Submit your final project link before the deadline. Top builds take home the cash, gears, awards and recognitions.

The Battle Plan: How It Works

Here is the complete Battleground journey, from unlocking your mission to claiming your reward:

Step 1: Registration & Unlocking the Portal

Choose your challenge division and pay the entry fee at checkout.
Instantly upon successful payment, your secure “Mission Complete” submission link will appear on your confirmation screen and will also be emailed to you. (Pro tip: Bookmark this link immediately!)

Step 2: Building & The Time Limit

You can start coding your project immediately based on the active mission brief on this page. You are free to use your preferred tech stack and local development environment.
The Deadline: You have until the last day of the current month at 11:59 PM UTC to finish your project.
Missed the deadline? Don’t panic. If you run out of time, your entry fee is 100% protected and automatically carries forward to next month’s challenge so you can try again (However you must update our team about this).

Step 3: Submitting Your Project

Once your code is fully functional, go to your bookmarked “Mission Complete” link.
You will fill out a quick form asking for your live project URL, your GitHub repository link (if applicable), and any specific notes you want the judges to read.

Step 4: Jury Evaluation & Results

After the monthly deadline passes, the BWS expert panel manually reviews all submitted projects, judging them on code quality, functionality, and UI/UX.
Winners are officially announced on our platform, and the top developers are contacted directly via their registered email address.

Step 5: Prize Fulfillment (Your Choice)

If you win, our team will personally ask for your prize preference:
If you choose Physical Tech Gear: We will request your exact shipping address and securely dispatch the hardware (e.g., Drone, VR Headset, Raspberry Pi) straight to your door.
If you choose the Cash Equivalent: We will request your secure bank account routing details or preferred digital wallet information and wire the funds directly to you.

The Universal Guidelines

Solo & From Scratch: No teams, no templates, and no cloning existing repositories.
Free Tools Only: Do not use premium plugins or paid APIs. The jury must be able to run your code for free.
The AI Rule: AI is allowed, but blind copy-pasting is not. You should understand your final code.
Public Accessibility: Ensure your live URL or GitHub repository is set to public. If the jury hits a private repo or a password wall during grading, the submission cannot be evaluated.
Clean Architecture: A working frontend is not enough. Your codebase should be logically structured, properly indented, and reasonably commented for our reviewers.
100% Your IP: You retain full ownership of your code. We only showcase the winners.
The Quality & Turnout Threshold: To protect the competitive integrity of the Battleground, prizes are awarded only if a division reaches a minimum number of valid entries and the winning submission meets our baseline quality standards. If a division does not meet this threshold, BWS reserves the right to fully refund your entry fee or roll it over to the next month.

FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

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 and submit.

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.

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.

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

Yes. We treat this exactly like a real-world developer environment. You are entirely free to use Google, Stack Overflow, and AI assistants (like ChatGPT or Copilot) to help generate or debug your code. The main goal is just getting your project to work. If you win, we might occasionally ask for a brief walkthrough of your approach, although this isn't strictly essential and doesn't happen in every single case. There are no rigid interrogations here—just build, submit, and have fun.

What are the parameters or metric of any "winning" project?

The jury grades purely on three core metrics: functional logic (does it successfully execute the mission brief?), clean architecture, and responsive UI. A winning project is one that doesn't just function flawlessly, but is also logically structured and visually polished across all devices.

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.

Can I participate in multiple divisions or return next month?

Yes. You can compete in BWS Battlegrounds as many times as you want! A fresh challenge drops on the 1st of every month (bookmark this page so you don't miss it). However, to maintain high-quality submissions, you may only register for one division per month.
