+- We would like to invite you to the **SF Hackathon**, a open source AI event in SF on March 31st at 6pm EST. The event will take place over one week online and in person on Friday, **starting from Wednesday, March 28th** and **ending on Wedensday, April 5th**. 
+- We will be organizing this event here on <a href="https://huggingface.co/SFHackathon" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: underline">Huggingface Hub</a> and will be communicating with participants through the <a href="https://discord.gg/YtB7bm2H" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: underline">HuggingFace Discord Server</a>. Check the dedicated SF hackathon channel to stay updated with the event. Prizes will be given at the end of the event. See the Prizes section below. 
+
+## Hackathon Tracks :
+Participants can take part in different tracks of the Themes Hackathon. Each track will have winners announced at the end of the event! These tracks are:
+1. **Ethics Track** - Participants need to create the most creative or visually stunning theme for a Gradio app. We will add the best/most creative theme to our set of default themes as a prize, plus the top three winners will get prizes.
+2. **Healthcare Track** - Participants create Gradio themes targeting specific sectors like finance/health/education/art, or specific companies -- for example, a Hugging Face emoji theme or a meta blue theme, etc.
+3. **Gradio Themes Track** focused themes - Participants can submit apps built around themes that prioritize inclusivity and accessibility. This segment places a strong emphasis on accessibility, for example, building an app with themes that are tailored to those who are colorblind or creating apps that support causes related to diversity and inclusion.
+4. **Chatbot Track** themes - In this track, we encourage participants to design themes that give Gradio a completely different look and feel from its default theme. This involves creating unique combinations of colors, button designs, fonts, backgrounds, and other design elements to disguise Gradio's appearance and create a fresh and distinct user experience.
+5. **Diffusers track** - Get creative with Gradio themes! Build a ✨new Gradio app✨ or 💡🚀redesign an existing one to make it visually appealing and user-friendly. Submit it to win a prize.
+6. **Trasformers track** - Get creative with Gradio themes! Build a ✨new Gradio app✨ or 💡🚀redesign an existing one to make it visually appealing and user-friendly. Submit it to win a prize.

+## How to Participate :
+
+To participate in any track in the Themes Hackathon, first make sure that you have installed the latest version of the Gradio library (at least 3.23 or later): `pip install --upgrade gradio`
+
+- For tracks 1 to 4, create and submit a new Theme: 
+  - Step 1: Join the Gradio-Theme Party organization (this org) on Hub.
+  - Step 2: Read up about Gradio's new theming capabilities here - <a href="https://gradio.app/theming-guide/" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: underline">Theming Guide</a>
+  - Step 3: Create a brand new theme - Either by extending the default or other user-generated themes or creating a new theme from scratch
+  - Step 4: Upload the theme to the Theme Gallery in the Hub, e.g. `my_theme.push_to_hub(repo_name="my_theme")`. Please note that you need to be logged in to Huggingface and would need to provide your Huggingface Access Token. For more information on uploading themes, see the <a href="https://gradio.app/theming-guide/#sharing-themes" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: underline">Sharing Themes</a> section of the guide.
+  - Step 5: Add tags to your app's readme.md file to specify which track you are submitting in. For example, like this -  `track-1, `- track-2`, `- track-3`, `- track-4`. You can refer this Space as an example for adding tags - <a href="https://huggingface.co/spaces/keras-dreambooth/minecraft-landscape-demo/blob/main/README.md" target="_blank">Readme.md</a>.
+  - Step 6: Share your themes with the community on social media and spread the word about the Hackathon 🤗
+
+- For Track 5, the Gradio app redesign challenge, you have to <u>submit a Gradio demo</u>: 
+  - Step 1: Join the Gradio-Theme Party organization on Hub.
+  - Step 2: Read up about Gradio's new theming capabilities here - <a href="https://gradio.app/theming-guide/" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: underline">Theming Guide</a>
+  - Step 3: Duplicate any existing Gradio demo (kudos if it is trending 👑)
+  - Step 4: Add your theme effects to the demo; for example, change color, modify the font, add a background, etc.
+  - Step 5: Publish the demo back on the Hub. Note that the new or redesigned <u>app must be submitted to the themes-party organization</u> so that team can find it and others can see it. This will ensure the highest visibility for your effort.
+  - Step 6: Share your themes with the community on social media and spread the word about the Hackathon 🤗
