Designathon 2026 Event Board

Project description

The contestant board for Lollypop Designathon 2026, a 24-hour design challenge in Ho Chi Minh City (14–15 Nov 2026, The Sentry Q). Everything hangs from one gold sign. The four element characters from the event's key visual (Fire, Water, Air, Earth) bounce in and push it into place, the logo flies to the header, the countdown spins like a mechanical odometer and Fire rides a 3D ribbon. Grab the sign and it swings on its strings. Tabs switch with a bouncing pill, buddy cards pop with speech bubbles, the leaderboard and mentor queue update live, and tapping the footer logo opens a hidden credit with confetti. Designed, built (front-end + back-end) and animated solo by Nathan Nguyen.
