Hacktoberfest is officially in full swing! Throughout the month of October, developers from all around the world are coming together to contribute to open-source projects, learn, and grow as a community.
This year, we are excited to support this annual celebration of open-source by providing a space for maintainers and contributors to reflect on and write about their 2024 Hacktoberfest journey.
Running through November 03, the Hacktoberfest Writing Challenge is an opportunity to share your Hacktoberfest experience (regardless of whether or not you complete the four PRs required!) and hone in your writing skills.
For this challenge, we’ll have a prompt for project maintainers and a prompt for contributors. Each prompt will have at least one winner (possibly more depending on how many people complete the challenge) and all participants who publish a valid submission will receive a completion badge.
Prompts
Judging Criteria and Prizes
Both prompts will be judged on the following:
- Style and presentation
- Clarity
- Originality
The winner of each prompt will receive:

All Participants with a valid submission will receive a completion badge on their DEV profile.

Escrevi um artigo Hacktoberfest: contribuindo em projetos open source com a comunidade dev sobre Hacktoberfest 2024 e o Hacktoberfest Writing Challenge do @thepracticaldev .
Best of Luck Dev's
@thepracticaldev I'm working on a series for this prompt. Is it possible for the entire series to be considered as a whole? The rules state you can only submit to each prompt one time. However, for my situation, entering one post out of context wouldn't make much sense.
Gently following up here and looping in the tag moderators, since the deadline is approaching @ben @jess @peter . Thank you!
@jlduchaney that's fine!
@jess Thanks for confirming! In that case, I will leave the submission template on all of my posts within the series.
