# AWS Amplify Hackathon Winners!

We are super excited to announce the winners of [**#AmplifyHashnode Hackathon**](https://townhall.hashnode.com/announcing-aws-amplify-hackathon-on-hashnode). Around 80 apps were built and deployed to [AWS Amplify](https://aws.amazon.com/amplify/) in a span of just three weeks (Feb 8th - Feb 28th) and we are blown away by the quality of the submissions! 🤯

I would like to thank you for participating and making this a successful hackathon. 

As mentioned in the [announcement post](https://townhall.hashnode.com/announcing-aws-amplify-hackathon-on-hashnode), all the entries were judged based on product thinking, UI/UX, quality of code, best practices, article completeness, and comprehensibility.
