About

Back for its 3rd year, Hollywood Hack Day is a two-day event that brings developers from all over Los Angeles and Orange County together to create the next generation of entertainment applications.

Come with a team and an idea, or form one on the spot.

We'll keep you fed and hydrated (breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snacks) for the entire weekend.

Prizes

1st prize $2000
2nd prize $1000
3rd prize $500



VIP tour of SpaceX

In addition to cash, the first place team will also receive a VIP tour of SpaceX! You'll be taken behind the scenes, where few have been, and see where and how SpaceX turns raw materials into rockets. Unfortunately, due to the sensitive nature of the work done at SpaceX, only US citizens will be allowed on the tour.
