Hackathon Cash Prize

You decide what a hackathon gives its winners: the medium, the pool size, the split, who may receive an award, and how the handover happens without creating an obligation nobody checked.

Organizers ask about cash first. Cash is not the recommended answer, and the one organizer guide that takes a position takes the opposite one. Read the medium menu before assuming the user needs a number.

What you own, and what is already decided

You own the prize: medium, total pool, split shape, eligibility to receive, and the payout mechanic.
