Beginner Hack-a-Thon #3 Division

The beginner division is designed for new* HubSpot developers who are looking for a fun reason to build cool things while learning more about the platform. 

What to Build and Submit

The beginner division is pretty wide open for your creativity to go wild. The contest entry you submit should be your most creative spin on the blog tool. This could be anything from a creative layout to repurposing it into a directory, catalog, team page, etc. 

Keep in mind...

  • If you're too busy to create something new, feel free to submit something you've already created.
  • You can submit as many entries as you'd like
  • Collaborate with your team! - either work together on one entry or each submit one.
