How to enter

Your entry is a ONEWHO application link. Because it is one, your ONEWHO dashboard shows the moment the judges open it, and which pages they read.

Your entry

yourname.isonewho.codes/a/unstop

    01

    Deploy your portfolio

    Build it your way and deploy it on Vercel, Netlify, GitHub Pages, Cloudflare Pages, Railway, Render or Fly.

    02

    Claim your ONEWHO name

    Sign in with GitHub at isonewho.codes, pick a name and paste your site's link. Free, and about a minute.

    03

    Make your entry link

    In your ONEWHO dashboard, open Applications and add one for the company Unstop. That gives you yourname.isonewho.codes/a/unstop.

    04

    Submit it on Unstop

    Register for One Who Codes 2026 on Unstop and submit your entry link, with your portfolio's public source repository, before Sun 15 Nov, 23:59 IST.

How entries are judged

Creativity

An idea of your own, not a template with your name on it.

30%

Craft

Layout, type, motion and the care in the details.

30%

Content

How clearly it shows what you build and who you are.

20%

Performance and accessibility

Fast to load, good on a phone, usable by everyone.

20%

The rules

#Rule
1

One entry per person, solo.

One ONEWHO name per GitHub account, and one submission on Unstop.

2

Your own work.

Include the portfolio's public source repository. Its history should come from your GitHub account.

3

A site you deployed yourself.

Hosted on a platform ONEWHO supports. Portfolios ONEWHO generates from a GitHub profile can't enter.

4

In on time.

Your entry link on Unstop before Sun 15 Nov, 23:59 IST.

5

Live until results.

Keep your name pointing at your site until Wed 18 Nov. Judges review what is live on 16–17 Nov.

6

Within ONEWHO's acceptable use policy.

Entries that break it are removed. The judges' decisions are final.

ONEWHO's acceptable use policy applies to every entry.

What participants ask first

Who can enter?
Anyone, from anywhere. Entries are solo.
Does it cost anything?
No. Entering is free, and so is ONEWHO.
Can I use a template or AI tools?
Yes. Judging rewards what is original, so a template with your name on it won't score well on creativity.
I already have a ONEWHO name.
Use it. Add the Unstop application in your dashboard and submit that link.
Can I keep improving my site after I submit?
Until Sun 15 Nov, 23:59 IST. After that, leave it as it is until results.
What do I get if I don't win?
Every participant with a valid entry gets a certificate of participation.

One Who Codes 2026
