Overview
The 3D Websites Hackathon is a web development contest run entirely online and aimed squarely at high school students. Each entrant designs and builds a 3D website, with the freedom to pick whatever tools or frameworks they prefer — the organisers do not prescribe a technology stack.
The event is deliberately beginner-friendly. No previous experience with 3D web technologies is needed, which makes it a realistic first project for students drawn to web development, 3D design or creative coding.
The hackathon window runs from 22 June 2026 to 31 July 2026. Projects have to be finished and handed in before that closing date, and entries are assessed on creativity, technical execution and visual appeal.
Winners share a total prize pool of ₹5,060. How that pool is divided between ranks has not been published. Registration and project submission both happen through the Devpost listing for the hackathon.
