The VR Hackathon will be held on 10 to 11 March 2017 and is designed to seek out the best Backend, Unity and developer talent in Hyderabad. The event will test the skills and open the door to a career opportunity as well.

The registration to participate is absolutely free of cost. Participants at the VR Hackathon will learn more about the creative work done by Digital Domain India, and winners will take away INR 50,000 cash prize plus attractive goodies, and may also land a VR position at Digital Domain Hyderabad facility.

To enter the competition, developers will have to first go through an eligibility test. Qualifying candidates will get to compete in the final coding challenge. Depending on the challenge, the duration of the VR Hackathon will be 24 to 48 hours.
