BasePaint revealed the winners of its Year 3 Hackathon after 32 projects were judged by an 8-person panel over two rounds, with each project read by at least three judges and the eight finalists judged by all.

- Judges' Favorite — bp3dex by @gandhionchain, converting any canvas into a 3D voxel sculpture.
- Art Projects — BasePaint World by @cryptologist99, a playable pixel overworld of canvases.
- For Collectors — Missing Days by @vvegalex, showing which BasePaint days a wallet owns.
- For Artists — a plugin by @GulaManYOW with bucket fill and other tools.
- Honorable mentions — Semantic Search, Shard Memories, a fully on-chain viewer NFT by @JestemZero, and STRATA pixel-stroke visualization.
