Good Code Hackathon 2021

Our annual virtual hackathon is back! Join us for a summer of fun events and the chance to win $50,000 in cash prizes. Register now.

Join developers all over the world using our APIs to build integrations that leverage the power of eSignature and other Docusign technologies for the greater good. This year’s Good Code hackathon starts today, July 14 and runs through August 13.

Each year, we bring together developers to build solutions for nonprofit organizations to help them tackle real environmental challenges. Help us bring the power of Docusign’s suite of applications, APIs, and integrations for automating and connecting the entire agreement process to non-profits. 

This year, we’ve partnered with the Jane Goodall Institute. Through our Docusign for Forests initiative, Docusign is also committed to protecting the world’s forests. We believe that code that supports organizations doing critical work to preserve the world's forests or other missions crucial to humanity is Good Code.

Two ways to win

We’ll be offering $50,000 in prizes for apps in two categories this year:

  • Greater Good: $10,000 grand prize and other prizesBuild an app for any nonprofit of your choice that uses Docusign APIs to transform critical business processes and take them digital

  • Jane Goodall Institute Challenge: $15,000 grand prize and other prizesBuild an app that helps the Jane Goodall Institute streamline their conservation science and mapping lifecycle to support faster participatory agreements and collaborative decision-making. 

Details are available on DevPost.

Virtual events and activities

You’re not alone. The Docusign Developer Advocacy team, along with the Jane Goodall Institute, will be hosting Q&A sessions throughout the hackathon on our Twitch channel.

That’s not all! We’ve got fun challenges such aslike developer trivia and more planned for you. Want more? Find us on Twitch and Slack and head over to our hackathon home page for a full schedule of events.

Join in. It’s Good Code.
