Customizable registration fields ensure your academic competition captures exactly the information you need to organize a seamless event.

The options are unlimited for how you can personalize your competition on the ICS Dashboard:

• Ask about dietary restrictions or accommodations for in-person events
• Require links to online portfolios for virtual hackathons
• Have teams upload completed photo/video release waivers
• Organize teams by topic preferences
• Confirm niche eligibility requirements
• Collect T-shirt sizes for competition merch

And more!

This completely flexible registration process lets you gather any relevant data and create a challenge that feels tailored and thoughtfully managed for your coaches and participants.
