How to send announcements to participants
Need to send an important update, a reminder, or a motivational message? The Announcements feature lets you send emails and post visible updates on your hackathon’s homepage.
- From your hackathon page, click the megaphone icon in the Admin bar at the top.
- Click the Compose announcement button.
- Draft your message in the editor.
- Choose your Recipients from the dropdown menu:
- Registrants: Everyone who has registered for the hackathon.
- Submitters: Only participants who have submitted a project.
- Winners: Only the winning teams (useful for post-hackathon communication).
- You can then choose to Send now or Schedule for later.
All published announcements are sent via email and are also displayed publicly on the hackathon’s homepage.
⚠️ Warning: All scheduled announcements are based on the hackathon's selected time zone.
