About with certificates
Your certificate is ready in your dashboard when the hackathon ends, so you can save it and add it to your resume and LinkedIn.
Frequently asked questions
How do I get a hackathon certificate?
Register, build with your team and submit your project before the deadline. When the hackathon ends, each member of every team that submitted gets a participation certificate in their dashboard.
Are hackathon certificates useful?
They show recruiters and colleges that you built and shipped a project under a deadline. A link to the project itself, with a demo and code, is even more useful, so add both to your resume.
Do I have to pay to register on Hack4Hack?
No. A Hack4Hack account is free, and most hackathons are free to enter. When an organizer charges a fee, it is shown on the hackathon page before you register.
Do winners get a different certificate?
Yes. Winning teams get a certificate of achievement that names their position.
