Meta Hacker Cup 2024

Hacker Cup is Meta's annual open programming competition. Open to participants around the world, we invite you to apply problem-solving and algorithmic coding skills to advance through each year’s online rounds, win prizes, and have a chance to make it to the global finals and win the grand prize.

The top 2,000 participants in Round 2 will win a shirt. If you qualify for Round 3 and finish in the top 200, you'll win a shirt with a top-200 badge on the sleeve instead of the normal shirt.

Just like last year, t-shirts can be claimed from your Hacker Cup Profile after we have finished plagiarism checks for the Round 3 (or after we have finished plagiarism checks for Round 2 if you didn't qualify for Round 3 and have no chance of winning a top-200 shirt).

Cash prizes for the Final Round are as follows (all prizes in USD):

1st: $20,000

2nd: $10,000

3rd: $5,000

4th: $3,000

5th: $1,000

6th - 10th: $500

11th - 15th: $300

16th - 25th: $200
