In February, we announced a new challenge on DEV, in partnership with our friends at Linode: the [Linode + DEV Hackathon](https://dev.to/devteam/announcing-the-linode-dev-hackathon-377p)!

Our brilliant participants were challenged to build brand new apps using Akamai Cloud Computing services based on Linode. Submissions were to be filed in one of five categories: **Edgeworker Experts, Integration Innovators, SaaS Superstars, Smooth Shifters, and Wacky Wildcards.**

It's never easy for contest judges to pick just one Grand Prize winner per category and 10 runners-up and this time was no different. Even so, judges from the DEV and Linode teams managed to pick our winners and I'm excited to share them with you today!

Let's take a look at the winning projects for the Linode + DEV Hackathon!
