Hi, I’m studying illustration and planned to take part in the coca cola digital hackathon for my marketing project that i am starting. This is for my final major project in 3rd year. I entered my details yesterday to sign up to the event but it didn’t work for some reason. I thought i would leave it and try again today but it appears the course is full?
This is very frustrating as I wanted to enter yesterday, but couldn’t and this is supposed to be part of my project.
I also work for relentless energy drink, which is owned by coca cola so I already work with the brand and it was perfect for my cv. I already have a team waiting.
Is there a possibility that we would be able to apply? If not do you have the contact from coca cola who I can speak to and work something out, seeing as I am a student and work for them, it would be a shame to miss out on such a opportunity thanks to a technological fault.
student number: 12918887
Thanks

Hello Alexander , unfortunately due to high demand we have now closed the registration. It is unfortunate that we can not accommodate all interested students. Keep an eye open though as we might reopen the registrations next week.
Dear
I have been registered as a group member from my group however i was unable to register myself by 30th of Jan. Is there any possibility that i can just register myself now since I am already part of a group?
