Status from the clock, not a toggle
Upcoming, registration, submissions, judging, results — derived from timestamps. Nobody has to remember to flip the event to “live.”
Build. Connect. Elevate.
Run the whole hackathon without a spreadsheet graveyard.
Karyatic is the event OS for hackathons, quizzes, and coding contests — registration, multi-round submissions, judging, results, and certificates in one clock-aware system.
Built first for Karyatic-hosted competitions. Campuses and clubs come next.
One source of truth from “join” to certificate.
Forms, sheets, and judging tools each do a slice. Karyatic keeps the full lifecycle — with round-aware rules.
Rounds that don’t collide
Each submission window is independent. GitHub, demo, and Drive video stay URL-only, with resubmits gated by the round — and enforced on the server.
Judging that stays fair until it closes
Invite judges, score against a 1–10 rubric, one score per judge per submission. Other scores stay hidden until the round ends.
Winners you choose. Certificates you don’t chase.
Scores inform; you still pick 1st / 2nd / 3rd / special. Publish once (immutable), then generate certificates instead of designing them in Canva at 2am.
How a weekend actually runs
Three roles. One timeline. No side channel for “final final v7.zip”.
- 01
Participants
Discover → register → submit
Browse open events, form a team, then ship each round before the window closes. Countdowns are computed from stored times — no “is it open?” Slack thread.
- 02
Judges
Accept invite → score → done
Open the scorecard beside the repo and pitch. Submit once. When judging ends, the leaderboard is there if you want the aggregate view.
- 03
Organizers
Configure → invite → publish
Create the event, set rounds and rubric, invite judges, pick winners, publish. Results don’t silently un-publish.
Pricing, honestly
Karyatic hosts its own events first. There is no self-serve campus plan yet — we won’t invent one on this page.
