EOS Hackathon - What is it and How you can enter....

EOS has had a rocket of a ride in recent times during this most recent bull run and I don't think it is going to stop anytime soon. A further initiative is the EOS Hackathon that is currently running which is open to anyone who is 18 years of age or older.
From their website:

The EOS Global Hackathon series is a
first-of-its-kind event in the world of blockchain, and serves Block.one’s goal of supporting of a decentralized global community from the ground up. Get involved and you will be joining hackers, product developers, marketers, and business leaders in creating a new wave of blockchain dApps that secure life, liberty, and property.

From June through the end of 2018, Block.one will be hosting a series of initiatives designed to find and give a platform to the most visionary architects of decentralization out there.

Four in-person events will be followed by a Grand Finale Pitch Competition that puts the best applications under the spotlight. Travel stipends will be awarded for projects with built-in community involvement, so we encourage participation from all corners of the globe.
