Hackathon certificate template
A hackathon certificate recognizes participants, finalists, and winners of a hackathon or coding challenge. Participants love adding these to LinkedIn and resumes, so a verifiable credential that can’t be faked adds real weight.
What to include on a hackathon certificate
- Participant/team name and the hackathon title
- Track/category and placement (winner, finalist, participant)
- Organizer name and date
- A unique ID + QR code for verification

Why make it verifiable?
A certificate that’s just a PDF can be edited, copied, or faked in seconds. Every certificate issued with QRCertificates carries a unique QR code and short code that resolve to a free public verification page. Each credential is Ed25519-signed, so changing a single character — a name, a date, a grade — breaks verification. No login, no app, no blockchain, and verification is free forever.
