In September, we kicked off Codegeist 2022, an annual Atlassian hackathon that brings together developers around the globe. This year over 3,000+ participants across 84 countries joined efforts to Forge the Future of Teamwork by building apps for Dev Ops, Business, and IT teams.
The challenge invited developers to build apps that transform teamwork using Forge — Atlassian’s next generation app development platform. Forge makes it possible to build a fully-functional app in just a few hours with hosting, multiple development environments, and API authentication built-in.
Cross-Collaboration & Creativity
It has been inspiring seeing each of you create incredible apps on Forge and help one another on the Atlassian Developer Community. We are amazed by the cross-collaboration among individuals and teams and the creativity of your app submissions.
Thank you to all who participated – your submissions blew us away yet again. Join us in congratulating all of the Codegeist 2022 participants for their contribution to the Atlassian developer community.
Drum Roll, Please
The winners of Codegeist 2022 represent the best of the best across multiple categories, and we are thrilled to announce who took home this year’s top prizes.

What’s next for Codegeist apps?
Congratulations to over 3,000 developers who entered into Codegeist this year. Although the hackathon may have ended on October 31st, that doesn’t mean the fun has to end!
When you list your Forge app and become a Marketplace Partner, we support you with licensing, pricing and guides, references and resources to get you on your way.
There are thousands of Atlassian customers eager to use your apps to extend their use of Atlassian products, AND you can make money as an added bonus! It’s a win-win.
How to take the next step with your app?
Before listing your Forge app on the Marketplace:
- Test your app
- Prepare branding marketing materials
- Think through a plan for how you’ll support your customers and a pricing strategy
List your app
- Fill out the submission form for your app to be reviewed and published on the Marketplace.
- Our Marketplace support team is here to help answer any questions along the way. Want advice on a specific topic before you list your app? Get in touch with them!
What happens after you submit to be listed?
After you submit your app to be listed on the Marketplace, you should receive a confirmation email congratulating you on your new submission with a link to a ticket. We review apps on a first come, first serve basis and all updates will appear on your ticket so you are able to stay informed. There is also a queue tracker that will roughly let you know your position in line.
For more frequently asked questions on the process that takes place after you submit your app to the Marketplace, see our New Partner FAQ.

Forge is getting better all the time, and staying on top of the latest updates allows you to turn new Forge capabilities into a better experience for your app’s customers.
