Vibe Coding Colosseum — The Toronto Siege
Can your skills as a Vibe Coder earn you the $500 CAD Cash Price?
Vibe Coding Colosseum is pulling up to Toronto Tech Week 2026 with a live drop and a cash prize in hand. No panels. No pitch decks. No polite applause. Just gladiators, AI weapons, and 45 minutes on the clock.
This is not a hackathon. This is a DROP.
A theme drops. You build. You ship. The crowd votes LIVE. One winner takes home the prize and glory of being crowned the winner during The Toronto Siege.

— 10 min: Colosseum Rules & Theme Reveal
— 45 min: Build Clock (vibe code like your life depends on it) — 20 min: Live Demos: every gladiator ships and shows
— 15 min: Live crowd vote. Champion crowned.
90 minutes. No judges. No rubric. Just: Works. Clear. Sick.
Pick your weapons: Cursor, Claude, ChatGPT, Replit, Firebase Studio, VS Code, Claude Code, Codex CLI — whatever your vibe stack is.
You bring the heat, we bring the arena.
