[CLOSED] HubSpot Themes Challenge 2021

Oh.  Hi there...

TL;DR: 2021 HubSpot Themes Challenge is open!

 

True story: 

My car is about to die.  You should see it.  The check engine light is glowing brighter than the headlights.  It goes from 0 - 60mph in about an hour.  The fabric on the ceiling is falling down.  I broke the antenna so the radio doesn't work.  Last week, it randomly turned on the hazard lights when I opened the car door.  I also have 2 dogs and a 6 year old kid so don't look at the back seat. 

 

If only there was a contest where I could win a new Tesla.....

OH WAIT!  THERE IS! 

 

The 2021 HubSpot Themes Challenge is now open! 

$155,000 in prizes up for grabs including a Tesla Model Y 😮

 

Rather than listen to me yammer on here, why don't I just get you a link to the actual challenge 😜

Go on and get yourself a Tesla!

PS:

Apparently I cannot particpate 😥.  If you want to give me your Tesla, just let me know!

@dennisedson  Please help me with my question about (HUBSPOT THEMES CHALLENGE 2021).

 

I have read the rule in SECTION 4 have mention that theme must be available free of charge and without any restriction

https://hubspot.devpost.com/rules

4. SUBMISSION REQUIREMENTS

(v) Testing: Participants must make their themes available free of charge and without any restriction, for testing, evaluation and use by the Sponsor and Judges during the Contest and until the Judging Period ends.

 

I have check HubSpot asset marketplace theme submit have (free and paid) options, if i choose free options when theme publish i can't change to paid.

------------------------------------------------------------

 

- During the HubSpot theme contest my theme submission must be set free of charge in the Asset Marketplace?

Or

- Should i submit my theme in HubSpot asset marketplace choose paid and set price to $0.00 during contest?

Hi Dennis,
                Anyone from Pakistan are eligible in taking part in the "Hubspot Themes Challenge 2021" ? I want to also get a confirmation with you because I don't think there is any restriction between the U.S.A and Pakistan ..

Quick question:

 

In this hackathon my team and I are competing for the best Landing Page, what will be evaluated is the landing page, so is it necessary for this theme to contain a blog listings and blog post?

@Nick_Mendes 

Here are the requirements which it looks like you will meet with just landing pages, but don't forget about system pages etc

Hi @dennisedson 

I have 3 question about HubSpot theme develpment.

1. I have read a guideline on how to build a HubSpot theme https://developers.hubspot.com/docs/cms/guides/getting-started but I am still confused, because I want to create 2 or more themes. 

I have checked that 1 app account can upload many themes but the problem is the search page, author page, error page is not adapted to each theme, if you know the way please help me with this.

Or

Can I create each app to make a HubSpot theme demo?

2. Can submit themes only in (marketplace account) and not create demo content.

3. Every theme in HubSpot needs a video introduction of features in the theme, so can i hire professional voice over for my video.

 

Thanks,

Makara

Hi @mden 

1.  You can create these templates uniquely to each theme.  Here is a link to the template docs.

An easy way to see how this works if you need an example is to install the boilerplate theme and reference the templates used.  For example, this is needed in the error page template:

<!--
  templateType: error_page
  isAvailableForNewContent: true
  label: Boilerplate - 404 error
  screenshotPath: ../../images/template-previews/404.png
-->

You should use the marketplace account to house all of your themes.

2.  You should be able to make demo content in your marketplace account per theme

3.  Sure!

 

Good luck out there!

Hi @dennisedson ,
I have a question about developer accounts. Before I had a developer account and have developed a few themes but not submitted them to the HubSpot marketplace yet.
Now I have registered a marketplace account, but the contest does not allow submission yet because content starts Dec 1, 2021 – Jan 13, 2022.
So can i create a theme and sell on the marketplace by using my current marketplace account and when content starts i create another theme to join content with the same marketplace account?

Hey @mden !

Any themes that have not previously been published to the marketplace are eligible for the contest if they meet the requirements. It doesn't matter if they are entered from an existing provider account or a new one.

Hi Dennis 🙂

 

A question: Is it OK to join the challenge from Turkey? As far as I know, there's no restrictions between the U.S. and Turkey, but still, I wanted to double check.
