Welcome to the 3D Websites Hackathon.
This competition is all about creativity, aesthetics, and building unforgettable experiences on the web.
Your challenge is to create the most visually stunning, immersive, and imaginative 3D website possible. There are no restrictions on theme, industry, or purpose. Build a futuristic city, a digital art gallery, an interactive story, a sci-fi experience, a fantasy world, a product showcase, a game-like website, or something nobody has ever seen before.
This hackathon is beginner-friendly and open to anyone interested in web design, 3D graphics, digital art, UI/UX, creative coding, and interactive experiences.
What Makes This Hackathon Different? Most hackathons focus on solving problems. This one focuses on creating wonder. We are looking for projects that make people stop scrolling and say: "Wow."
Freedom to Create Participants may use: • AI tools and assistants • Online assets and models • Open-source libraries • Three.js, React Three Fiber, Babylon.js, WebGL, WebGPU, Spline, Blender, and other tools • Tutorials and learning resources
The judging is based primarily on creativity, aesthetics, and overall experience. Technical complexity is optional. A beautiful and creative project can outperform a highly technical one.
Requirements To qualify for judging, each submission must include: - A publicly accessible website link - A project description explaining your idea and inspiration - At least 3 screenshots of your project - A short demo video (1–5 minutes) (Optional) - A list of technologies and tools used - Source code
• Project must be web-based • Project must contain meaningful 3D or immersive visual elements • AI-generated content and assets are allowed • Existing assets and models are allowed • Teams and solo participants are both welcome • Projects must be appropriate for all audiences
