Diplace is not the organizer. Check the terms on the organizer's site and do not pay for participation unless the official page requires it.
Only for participants aged 18 and over; residents of Russia, Brazil, Quebec, Cuba, Iran, North Korea and Crimea are not eligible. In one sitting participants build a first working prototype of an app with an AI coding agent (Claude Code, Codex, Cursor and similar), using the Devpost Learn Skill Pack: the agent interviews you about the idea, helps plan it and gets the project ready to submit. There is a live build session, office hours and a project review; submissions close on 26 October 2026, 5:00 pm US Eastern Time. Prizes are $1,250, $750 and $500 for the top three places.
