If you missed the previous Hackathon, you still have an opportunity to contribute for a prize. You can start by searching for priority issues with the label `Contribute for prize` as you can see in this [query](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/issues?scope=all&utf8=%E2%9C%93&state=opened&label_name[]=Contribute%20for%20prize). For the next few months, anyone who works on these issues and have an MR merged will receive the [GitLab moleskin note book (photo below)](https://shop.gitlab.com/collections/frontpage/products/gitlab-moleskin). If you're interested in working on these `Contribute for prize` items, you can mention `@rpaik` in the issue so that it can be assigned to you.
