3D Websites Hackathon

Welcome to the 3D Websites Hackathon.

This competition is all about creativity, aesthetics, and building unforgettable experiences on the web.

Your challenge is to create the most visually stunning, immersive, and imaginative 3D website possible. There are no restrictions on theme, industry, or purpose. Build a futuristic city, a digital art gallery, an interactive story, a sci-fi experience, a fantasy world, a product showcase, a game-like website, or something nobody has ever seen before.

This hackathon is beginner-friendly and open to anyone interested in web design, 3D graphics, digital art, UI/UX, creative coding, and interactive experiences.

What Makes This Hackathon Different?
