    We're back with another installment of our newest format: the **DEV Weekend Challenge**! If you missed the first one, these are short-form, high-energy challenges designed to fit right into your weekend. We’re giving you the heads-up now so you can clear your schedule! ## How It Works **Our challenge prompt will be revealed at launch.** You can keep an eye on the [DEV Weekend Challenge page](https://dev.to/challenges/weekend) or look out for the official announcement post from the [DEV Team](https://dev.to/devteam). From there, you'll have the entire weekend to build, document, and submit your project. That's all there is to it! Because our community spans every timezone on the planet, we've set the window so that everyone around the world gets at least a full weekend to participate. {% card %} ## Important Dates - **Launch Time:** Friday, April 16 at 2:00 AM UTC - **Submissions Due:** Monday, April 20 at 6:59 AM UTC Here's what that looks like across a few timezones: | Timezone | Launch Time (Local) | Submissions Due (Local) | | :--- | :--- | :--- | | **PDT** | Thursday, Apr 16 at 7:00 PM | Sunday, Apr 19 at 11:59 PM | | **EDT** | Thursday, Apr 16 at 10:00 PM | Monday, Apr 20 at 2:59 AM | | **GMT** | Friday, Apr 17 at 2:00 AM | Monday, Apr 20 at 6:59 AM | | **CEST**| Friday, Apr 17 at 4:00 AM | Monday, Apr 20 at 8:59 AM | | **IST** | Friday, Apr 17 at 7:30 AM | Monday, Apr 20 at 12:29 PM | | **JST** | Friday, Apr 17 at 11:00 AM | Monday, Apr 20 at 3:59 PM | | **AEST** | Friday, Apr 17 at 12:00 PM | Monday, Apr 20 at 4:59 PM| While the window technically spans more than 48 hours, our goal is to ensure everyone has a full, uninterrupted weekend to work on their project regardless of where they live. {% endcard %} --- ## Can't wait?
