Do you have an artistic or fun project you would like to exhibit at BornHack? Let us know in advance and get some input on placement, materials, and any other help you can get from us.

Remember that BornHack is an outdoor event, so your project should be able to withstand the weather. You can also join the art or light team and help make everything blink, sparkle, shine, and entertain without bringing your own project.

Note that if you want to see a project of your own realized, you need to drive it yourself. Volunteers can give a hand, we can provide some advice on implementation, and contribute a part here and there, but we will not "adopt an idea" and realize it.

Since we have a strict photo policy, no recording devices, such as cameras or microphones, are allowed, even if they are not recording to a disc or connected to the internet. It is simply a matter of our participants not being able to verify this for every installation.

Drop us a mail at art@bornhack.org to pitch your project or ask questions related to art projects at BornHack 2026.

We're looking forward to seeing your ideas and projects come to life!

We are looking for sponsors who want to help make BornHack 2026 another great event in the long series of annual BornHack events!

As part of BornHack's community values, we firmly believe that people's financial situation should not affect their ability to participate in hacker community events. Consequently, we keep BornHack ticket prices low so everyone can attend. But venues, tents, internet, and electricity cost money, so we rely on sponsors to make ends meet.

BornHack sponsors are loyal; they usually remain sponsors for several years. Some sponsors provide specific equipment for the event, but most sponsorships are cash. Typical cash sponsorships range from 10,000 to 30,000 DKK, enough to make a big difference in our small event budget!

Some are sponsors simply because they recognise the value of a great recurring event that strengthens the community. Others sponsor so they can get a shot at recruiting among the talented BornHack participants. Whatever the reasons, we are very grateful for the help we are getting. Knowing that so many fine organisations want to see BornHack succeed makes us all work extra hard!

Over the coming months we will contact existing sponsors to finalize the details for 2026. If you hear about an organisation in a position to financially support BornHack, please get in touch with us. More information about sponsor packages can be found in our Call for Sponsors.

As some of you have already noticed, the webshop is now open for BornHack 2026!

This year we have improved the webshop, so all of the products are available now. No more checking back in later for getting your merchandise or fridge shelves.

A standard ticket is 1337 DKK. If you can pay more than the standard 1337 DKK for a ticket, please do so; it is highly appreciated. It allows us to have cheaper tickets available in the shop for hackers with smaller budgets.
