RevenueCat Shipaton mobile hackathon is back with $1 million worth of prizes

RevenueCat's annual Shipaton mobile hackathon has returned, running from August 1 to September 30 with significant prizes up for grabs. This event is the world's largest mobile hackathon, offering a total prize value of over $1 million and $700,000 in cash awards alone. To qualify, participants must launch a brand new app during the competition window and utilize the RevenueCat SDK for monetization.

The competition features 20 categories, including a specific 'student award.' Winners can see their apps displayed on a billboard in New York City's iconic Times Square and receive a trophy at a red carpet event in the city. To participate, individuals can register on the official website, shipaton.com. Those who register will receive a 'Ship Kit' containing coupons, discounts, and credits to support app development and growth.

Additionally, twice-weekly livestreams led by RevenueCat employees and industry experts will guide participants on building and marketing mobile app businesses.

Moreover, over 40 'Shipaton IRL' events will take place globally, allowing participants to network with one another. For more information on this exciting hackathon, interested individuals can visit shipaton.com or check out 9to5Mac on YouTube for additional Apple news.
