Online webathon was a 28 hours static website designing competition. The competition was completely online and was a outcome of lockdown in India and some awareness that we as a student body can bring in.
The competition started on 26th at 6:00 pm and ended on 27th at 10:00 pm so participants had 28 hour to come up with a full flesh website 
Since there was a lock down, we planned to conduct an virtual event. The idea behind conducting such competition was to give a real time working exposure to our participants.
The theme was chosen to be CORONA outbreak because we wanted to create awareness amongst students, as these bunch of people it’s easier to reach and from them bringing in chances so their family and surrounding is well aware of the current massive outbreak. The theme was announced just 10 minutes prior to the competition.
We framed a set of the guidelines like
-templates shouldn’t be used
-websited designed should be static
-the winning website will be hosted along with the source code will be published under GPLV3 License and redirected from official GLUG PESCE website.
