🍪 THE MOST ANNOYING COOKIE BANNER EVER HACKATHON 🤬

Oct 10, 2024

What kind of hackathon is this?

The goal here is simple. Make THE MOST ANNOYING COOKIE BANNER you can think of.

Cookie consent banners annoy us all. So we thought, why not have some fun with them? Here are a couple examples of what that might look like:

Now it’s time for you to get creative. Btw, if you’re looking for some inspiration, check out these Ridiculous Volume Slider UI’s.

Prizes

2 winners will receive a nice mechanical keyboard, an additional annoying gift, as well as a shoutout on our socials.

The 2 winners will be selected by:

The Wasp team
Our Community (Discord & Twitter)

The community will get a chance to vote in a battle royale style elimination tournament, where two banners will go head-to-head and the winner will advance to the next round.
