What is PromptWars X Community?

PromptWars community participants

PromptWars is a new hackathon format by Google for Developers & Hack2Skill where you build vibe coded solutions using Google Antigravity or Google AI Studio in limited time and win rewards.

PromptWars X Community is a licensed, supported edition of that same program where you can organise this in your own campus or community, online or offline, customised to your community’s name and context. GDGoCs, college tech clubs, and developer communities can run such as PromptWars X Tech Club XYZ University.

And don’t you worry about the logistics. We handle the infrastructure.

You bring the builders.

Every approved host community gets access to the following from day one.

Event assets, social graphics, banners, certificate templates, email copy — all customised to PromptWars X [Your Community].

Access to sponsorships up to INR 40,000 in cash.

Submission tracking, scoring, leaderboards. The same platform used in official PromptWars editions.

Experts to guide you for the hackathon management platform .

Every host receives a PromptWars certificate.

Who should host

Campus tech clubs & college chapters

You've run internal hackathons. PromptWars X [Your College] gives your event national-level credibility and a format that's genuinely competitive.

You have the audience and the organising experience. A PromptWars edition is a focused, skill-first event that sits alongside your existing calendar.

City-level tech communities

A regional developer group looking for a flagship annual event. PromptWars gives your city's builders something worth competing in.

Independent event organisers

You know how to run events. We provide the brand and infrastructure. You bring the community.

Announce winners & close out

Certificates go out, winners are announced, and you have an event your community will reference for the next cycle.

Online & offline

Both formats are fully supported.

Offline edition

In-person event at your campus or venue. Participants build in the same room, pitch live to a panel, and take results home the same day. We help with the sponsorship.

Online edition

Fully virtual format with the same competitive structure — live challenge reveal, real-time leaderboard, and video pitches. Again, we provide cash prizes to winners.

FAQs

Is there a cost to host?

There's no platform fee to apply. We work with you on the economics of your specific edition — sponsorships typically cover costs, and we provide playbooks for that conversation.

Do I need prior hackathon experience?

It helps but isn't required. The onboarding and runbooks are designed to support first-time organisers. If you have a community and can commit to the logistics, we'll fill in the gaps.

Can I run this online?

Yes. The virtual format maintains the same competitive structure — live challenge reveal, real-time leaderboard, and video pitches to a panel.

Who decides the problem statement?

Challenges can be set by you based on your preference.

What's the minimum participant count?

We recommend 30–50 for offline editions. Online editions can go broader. You can align on what makes sense for your community.

Can student communities apply?

Yes. College tech clubs and student chapters are a core part of this program.

Can we customise the prizes?

Yes, within program guidelines. We encourage hosts to bring in local sponsors to increase prize pools and add local relevance to their edition.
