Overview
Odoo Hackathon 2026 is a programming championship run by Odoo, the company behind the open-source ERP platform of the same name. It is not a single-weekend event — the contest unfolds over several weeks of online challenges before ending in a marathon 24-hour live coding sprint on September 5–6, 2026.
Participants build working solutions on top of Odoo's platform, and the company's own engineering team mentors the entrants and judges the results. For developers who want their code in front of the people who maintain a widely used enterprise product, that access sits alongside the prize money as a real reason to enter.
The competition carries a ₹1,70,000 cash prize pool. How that total is divided between ranks has not been made public.
Registration closes on June 28, 2026. Sign-ups go through the official Internshala competition page, and the precise format of the preliminary rounds is shared with participants after they register.
