Hackathon Phases

Idea Submission: Hackers are invited to fill out the form to share their project ideas. Tell us what you would like to build using CELO's cutting-edge technology and the Bunzz platform. We're excited to hear your creative solutions!

Project Filtering: Our expert panel will carefully review all submissions and filter projects based on specific criteria. We are looking for projects with the potential to make a real impact and align with the goals of the CELO X Bunzz community.

Hacking Phase: Once the projects that meet our criteria are selected, the teams behind them will move to the hacking phase. This is where the real action happens! You'll have the opportunity to bring your ideas to life and build your project with the support of our mentors and resources.
