One of Asia's biggest blockchain events is due to take place within weeks — and it's going to feature an eight-day hackathon.

Morpheus Labs has organized the competition in conjunction with Huawei and Blockchain Association Singapore. 

The project says the hackathon aligns with its vision of blockchain technology being an indispensable tool for education — unlocking opportunities for developers across Asia.

A grand prize featuring cash, Huawei Cloud Credits and a laptop will be awarded to the winner — and there will be rewards for second and third place, too. 

It's all going to kick off on July 20 and 21, when participants will have the chance to start socializing and brainstorming together.

They'll have until 11.59pm on July 24 to deliver a video demo — an all-important pitch that illustrates their concept in action.

Judging will take place on July 26 and 27, with an award ceremony taking place to crown the winners on July 28.

Pei-Han, the CEO of Morpheus Labs, told Cointelegraph: "This hackathon gives budding and experienced blockchain developers — and even those with no blockchain experience — a stage to hone and show their skills.

He added that Morpheus Labs and BAS have worked together "on many occasions" since 2017, and further events are planned in the not-too-distant future.

The hackathon's being described as "the ultimate event for blockchain developers," with more than 1,000 attendees in attendance. As well as insights from industry experts and a series of educational courses, it'll alo give executives a chance to discover the latest talent in the fast-moving
