What is Angular Attack?

Angular Attack is an online hackathon. Teams of up to 4 people compete over a 48 hour period to build the best app they can, using Angular JS. After you submit the app, it'll be critiqued by one of our expert judges. The best apps win prizes, glory and most importantly, respect!

Where is it located?

Anywhere! Angular Attack is an online competition, so you can compete from anywhere in the world. 

When is the competition?

The competition starts March 30 0:00:00 UTC. PLEASE make sure to covert this to your local timezone. For example, if you are located in San Francisco CA, it will begin May 11th at 5pm PST. It ends exactly 48 hours later.

How many people can be on a team?

Teams may be comprised of 1-4 people.

Can I invite team members after I register?

Absolutely! Setup your team now and you'll be able to send invites to team members at anytime.

What version of Angular can I use?

All versions of Angular can be used for the competition.

What frontend platform can I use?

It is "bring your own hosting", so you can use whatever hosting provider you want and provide a URL as part of the entry. Zeit, Heroku, Github Pages, AWS, Firebase, anything. We'll link your competition entry to this url.

For the finalists, we request you give us collaborator access to your hosting account so we can verify the deployed app matches the repo. For any support issues with your frontend deployment, please email us directly at [email protected].

What backend platform can I use?

Hopefully you won’t need a backend since you only have 48 hours, but if you do you’re welcome to use any service that offers a free tier. We will need access to this for auditing purposes. For example, PubNub, Firebase, 3rd party app, Heroku, AWS etc…   To keep it fair please do not use any paid service. If you are looking for a paid service let us know and we can reach out to the company for potential free service sponsorship for you.

Also, please make sure all the backend code that you write for the competition is also in the repository we provide for you. That way we can make sure the code written during the competition matches what's deployed.

What is the Topic/Theme of the competition?

There is no specific topic or theme. You are welcome to create any type of application that you’d like!

Who decides the winners?

Applications will be reviewed by expert judges, who are leaders in the Angular community. Contestants will also have a chance to vote on each others entries. All entries will be evaluated and teams will receive feedback.

What if my company is a sponsor of Angular Attack? Can I still participate?

Of course! Being an employee of any company sponsoring Angular Attack does not disqualify you. We have tools in place so if any judge has a conflict of interest in the app they are judging, they can skip it and move on to the next one.
