The running writing contests cover diverse tech domains and topics, including Web Development, Unity Game Development, DevOps, and the Future of AI - collectively giving away $28,000 in prizes. These contests began in July 2023 and will run until Jan. 2024.

"Excited to read the upcoming stories these contests generate about DevOps, the Future of AI, Unity, Web Development and more."
Entry is free and open to anyone; however, to qualify for the contest, participants should share original and high-quality content. HackerNoon is a free-to-use, open-to-everyone publishing platform with an acceptance rate of <50%.
