Embarko for Hackathons

Give every participant 2 months of Embarko Pro — free, and get a dedicated Showcase page for your event.

Example: embarko.ai/showcase/iit-indore-2026

Participants deploy their projects on Embarko, submit them to Showcase, and your event gets one permanent page where judges, participants, companies and the community can browse what was built.

What you get

2 months of Embarko Pro for every participant
A unique hackathon code
A dedicated Showcase page for your event
One place for judges to browse live projects
A permanent gallery after the event
Simple deployment from participants' AI agents
No hosting setup or hosting workshop required

How it works

1. Apply

Send us:

Event name
College / organisation
Event dates
Expected number of participants
Event website or social link

2. We create your event

We generate a hackathon code:

IITINDORE26

and a dedicated Showcase page:

embarko.ai/showcase/iit-indore-2026

Participants use the code to activate 2 months of Embarko Pro — free.

4. Participants build and deploy

They build with the AI agent they already use, then ask it:

Deploy this to Embarko

Their project gets a live URL. See docs.md for what actually happens on a deploy, and troubleshoot.md if a build fails.

5. Projects join your Showcase

Participants submit their live app to Embarko Showcase and select your hackathon. Their project appears on your event page, so judges and your community have one place to browse everything built during the event.

Keep Embarko Pro free for 1 year

Participants can keep Embarko Pro free for a year by showing what they built.

Post a short Instagram Reel or YouTube video showing:

What you built
Who it helps
A quick demo
How you put it online with Embarko

Tag Embarko and submit the video link. If approved: 1 year of Embarko Pro — free.

Good projects may also be featured in Embarko Showcase and shared with the Embarko community.

Your hackathon lives beyond the event

Your Showcase page stays online after the hackathon. Use it to:

show winning projects
share shortlisted projects
let judges browse live submissions
showcase your participants
share the event with companies and communities
keep projects discoverable after the hackathon
