Prizes
Here at Hack The Box, our hosted CTFs often include several prizes for the top-ranked teams. Whether it is sweet HTB Swag from the merch store, HTB VIP+ subscriptions, or even cash, a CTF event with prizes is always worth competing for.
The exact prizes offered are event-specific and decided on a case-by-case basis. Prizes are handed out using the contact information provided when you and your team originally registered for the CTF.
