Kusama & Polkadot Prodigy Hackathon 2023
Proposer: Georgi
The proposed funding is aimed at supporting the 2023 Polkadot Prodigy Hackathon, which is the first in a planned series of events focused on Eastern European countries. This hackathon will be online format and held closing ceremony in Bulgaria, and is open to developers from around the world.
With a large number of IT specialists and developers with worldwide potential in web2 and web3, countries such as Bulgaria, Romania, Poland, Ukraine and the rest country from Easter Europe are considered to be ideal locations for this type of event.
The goal of the hackathon is to unite this potential and promote Substrate technology, attract more developers to the Polkadot ecosystem, encourage building and participation across parachains, and create a strong community, particularly in Bulgaria. The event will be held online and will take place over eleven weeks, from 1 May to 15 July 2023. This period includes a pre-hackathon period of 14 days, a six-week hackathon period, and a 20-day judging period.
The proposed funding will be used to cover the operational costs of the event, as well as the prizes for the winners. By supporting this hackathon, we hope to foster innovation and collaboration within the Polkadot community and beyond.

This is a really unique proposal! 👏🏿 Web3 needs to grow as much as possible in Sofia, Bulgaria! Dev blockchain community in Sofia requires support.
Hi @blockchainleader , thank you! It's great to see enthusiasm for growing the Web3 community in Sofia, Bulgaria. Supporting the development of the blockchain community there is important for the future of this technology.
This is quite an interesting event. I do not think there were anything similar to that in Sofia.. at least not in that in such scale. I wish you luck and hope it happens.
