## [Find your next Web3 audit contest](https://bbradar.io/docs/contests.md#find-contests)

The public contest calendar brings together smart contract audit competitions and security challenges. Compare live and upcoming audits across platforms such as Code4rena, Sherlock, Cantina, CodeHawks, Immunefi and HackenProof, then choose work that fits your skills and schedule.

Browsing schedules, published rewards and languages is free, as are available calendar downloads. Full program scope, target inventory, scope exports and program intelligence require Pro.

## [Compare contests with filters and views](https://bbradar.io/docs/contests.md#filters-and-views)

Use the timeline to compare overlapping audit windows, or switch to the list for a compact view. Phones open the list by default. Select a contest to see its public preview and available calendar export. Your filters and chosen view are reflected in the URL so you can bookmark or share them.

| Control | Use it to |
| --- | --- |
| Search and platform | Find a project or narrow the calendar to a competition platform. |
| Language | Find Solidity, Rust, Move or other languages when the source publishes them. Missing language data does not mean a contest uses no programming language. |
| Type | Separate audit contests from security challenges. Ordinary ongoing bug bounties belong in the main catalog. |
| Status | Focus on live or upcoming competitions, or inspect ended and paused listings still retained in the catalog. All listed is not a complete historical archive. |
| Reward and sort | Filter by minimum published reward and compare deadlines, start dates, rewards or project names. |

The [contest tag](https://bbradar.io/tags/contest) also identifies contests and challenges in the main program catalog. It describes the program format; it is not a target technology or a statement about active scope.

<a id="dates-and-deadlines"></a>

## [Understand dates and unconfirmed deadlines](https://bbradar.io/docs/contests.md#dates-and-deadlines)

The calendar labels times in UTC. Exact timestamps support countdowns and timed calendar events. When a platform publishes only a calendar date, BBRadar shows that date without inventing an hour. Date-only deadlines use a dashed timeline bar and are excluded from timed downloads.

Dates to confirm

This section contains contests without a complete, consistent schedule verified by BBRadar. A source may omit a date, or a published change may still be waiting for a successful refresh. The official page can already show a deadline while BBRadar is catching up. Check that page for the current schedule.

Listings update after source data is retrieved, checked and saved. Platform outages and rate limits can delay updates. An unknown start is not proof that a contest is live; retained information on a paused listing does not mean submissions are open.

<a id="calendar-export"></a>

## [Add audit deadlines to your calendar](https://bbradar.io/docs/contests.md#calendar-export)

Choose Export calendar to download an ICS file for matching live and upcoming contests with exact start and end times. You can also download an individual event from its preview when its schedule supports export. Import the file into Google Calendar, Apple Calendar or Outlook; your calendar app displays UTC timestamps in your selected time zone.

Downloads are snapshots, not subscriptions. They do not automatically receive extensions or cancellations. Verify the latest schedule on the official contest page before planning your work or submitting a report.

<a id="coverage-and-rewards"></a>

## [Interpret platform coverage and rewards](https://bbradar.io/docs/contests.md#coverage-and-rewards)

Contest classification uses the platform’s published program format and available source data. Mixed platforms can host both fixed-window competitions and ongoing bug bounties; only contests and challenges appear here. Coverage depends on public listings and successful source checks, so the calendar cannot guarantee every competition or field is available.

Calendar amounts are labeled as published maximum rewards. Check the platform to see whether an amount represents a shared prize pool or a maximum individual award. A displayed amount is not a guaranteed payout; eligibility, severity, duplicate findings and reward allocation follow the platform’s rules.

Read the official contest scope and rules before choosing an audit. For calendar-specific answers, see the [audit contest calendar FAQ](https://bbradar.io/contests#faq).
