Challenges
Challenges let organizers offer a task and a prize to hackers at an event. These guides cover creating and configuring challenges, and how the event's submission flow affects where you set things up.
Before creating challenges, it helps to know whether your event is project-first or challenge-first, because that decides where the submission form lives — see Programs and submission flows.
In this section
- How to create a challenge — a granular, field-by-field walkthrough of the challenge form.
- Submission form settings — the fields hackers fill in when they submit.
- GHW event setup — swag eligibility and the one-click GHW challenge actions (an Avo Event feature).
- Manage a challenge (actions) — preview, duplicate, export submissions, and merge.
- What hackers see — which fields reach the hacker page.
- Tags and variants — categorizing and alternate names.
