From March 29 to 31, the online hackathon DemHack 8 will take place, focusing on censorship and new ways to access information.
Russian-speaking IT specialists, data analysts, cybersecurity experts, designers and digital artists, internet activists, journalists, and researchers are invited to participate.
The hackathon comprises three tracks: privacy, internet freedom, and internet research. Participants must present a technical project addressing a problem in one of these areas.
There are no restrictions on the format of solutions or methods of expression. Selection is conducted by a competition committee.
The prize fund for the hackathon is 1200 USDT. Additionally, selected teams will have the opportunity to join the acceleration program at Privacy Accelerator and receive grant support.
Registration for participants is open until March 18 inclusive.
