Pega invites developers of all skill levels to create new solutions with the potential to rapidly help organizations improve customer and employee experiences both during the COVID-19 pandemic and longer-term.

While the COVID-19 outbreak has accelerated many organization's digital transformation initiatives, organizations also want solutions that help them achieve long-term success.

Starting today, the six-week Pega Community Hackathon 2020 will focus contestants on building solutions in three key areas that can most help organizations respond to the immediate crisis as well as help address future needs:

Judges will evaluate submissions based on such criteria as the level of innovation, real-world impact, and execution. Winners will be awarded cash prizes with Best in Show also winning free passes to PegaWorld iNspire 2021.

The Pega Community Hackathon begins today and runs through June 22, 2020. Winners will be announced on July 6, 2020, and recognized on pega.com and Pega Community.
