NO. 01What is the ClassicA championship for the people building DC's future.
The Chocolate City Classic is a single-day hackathon run like a tournament. Curated builders in teams of up to five build something real, then pitch it to judges who invest, hire, and buy, scored on viability, not just code.
One bracket, one title. Free to enter, rooted in the DMV, open to builders anywhere, with a champion crowned on the main stage by night.

The first founder night, with Techsgiving. Proper Cafe, 1545 New Jersey Ave NW. Meet the people building DC. Free for every guest.
