Global Build Jam
A worldwide challenge for builders launching useful, vibe-coded products on Gibbor from April 27 to May 30, 2026. Every eligible entry also joins the Top Makers race, so the launch counts beyond the event page.

live ranking
Top Makers, ranked automatically.
This leaderboard rolls up eligible live launches from April 27 to May 30, then ranks makers by event upvotes, comment traction, shipped entries, and latest momentum.

event upvotes27
comments10
Only engagement from other makers counts. Self-upvotes and self-comments don't count toward ranking or qualification — this is a real-launch event, not a self-vote leaderboard.
#1 needs 50 upvotes + 15 comments. #10 needs 10 + 5. Slots are forfeited if the bar isn't met — unclaimed money rolls over to the next Build Jam, not to lower-ranked makers.
If makers have the same event upvotes, we sort by comment traction, eligible shipped entries, then newest launch activity.
fair play noteNo dummy-account farming.
Creating multiple accounts or coordinating fake upvotes/comments to boost a launch is not allowed. Gibbor uses latest AI-assisted detection and platform signals to catch suspicious engagement; once confirmed, the entry is disqualified immediately.

prize breakdown
Top 10 get paid — if they earn it.
Each slot has a minimum engagement bar that scales with the prize. Slots stay unpaid if the maker at that rank doesn't clear their bar; unclaimed money rolls into the next Build Jam.

house rules
Gibbor runs the Global Build Jam as the organizer. To keep the event fair for makers doing real work, we reserve the right to:
- Update the rules. Qualification thresholds, prize amounts, the prize pool itself, and the jam window can be adjusted if circumstances require.
- Disqualify gaming. Entries with fake-account upvotes, AI-farmed comments, paid engagement, multi-account coordination, or any pattern misrepresenting real launch traction will be removed without refund.
- Forfeit prizes. Slots can be withheld from disqualified makers or makers who don't clear their slot's minimum engagement bar; unclaimed prize money rolls into the next Build Jam, not redistributed to lower ranks.
- Reschedule or cancel. The event window can be extended, postponed, or cancelled if outside conditions make continuing the jam unworkable.
- Make final calls. Tie-breakers and edge cases are decided in good faith — judgment goes to the maker doing the most legitimate launch work, not the loophole-finder.
By participating, you agree these decisions are at Gibbor's discretion. Material changes will be communicated by email and on this page where reasonable. Prize payouts are processed after the global cutoff and may take up to 30 days; payment is in USD via the method we agree on with each winner.
