The Next Top Blockchain Startup Competition - Join the World's Largest Startup Competition

July 1 - September 8th, 2024

Project Overview

We designed and developed a comprehensive website for The Next Top Blockchain Startup Competition, a virtual hackathon, competition and accelerator program helping spotlight the next wave of blockchain entrepreneurs. The project involved creating a modern, dark blue and light purple design that emphasizes the $270,000+ prize pool, multiple tracks (Interoperability, DePIN, Gaming, Secure Web3, ERC-7621, ICP, AI for Web3), educational webinars, schedule and deliverables, judges and speakers, and partnership opportunities while making it easy for entrepreneurs and developers to understand the competition structure and register.

Design Approach

The design features a professional, competition-focused aesthetic with:

• Dark Blue Header: Dark blue background with geometric patterns for the header section
• Light Purple Sections: Light purple/white backgrounds for content sections create visual hierarchy
• Grid Layout: Clean, modern grid-like layout for information presentation
