BuildX – An MLH Hackathon

MLH Member Event — Participant Information Sheet Based on: MLH Member Event Guidelines, 2027 Hackathon Season (July 1, 2026 – June 30, 2027), last updated May 22, 2026. Important note before you use this: This source document is MLH's organizer policy — the rules hackathon organizers must follow to keep their "MLH Member Event" status. It does not contain a specific dollar-value prize list for tracks. Actual track prize money is decided per-event and confirmed by MLH with each organizing team during their pre-event "handoff call," then published on the event's own submission platform (Devpost, etc.) and at hack.mlh.io/prizes. If you need exact prize amounts for a specific hackathon, that has to come from that event's own prize page — not this document. 1.
