SharePoint Hackathon 2026 Winners Announced

Introduction

Microsoft has published the winners of the SharePoint Hackathon 2026, a two-week online event that drew 125 submissions from customers and partners. The projects showcased how organizations are using SharePoint for modern intranets, AI agents, document intelligence, mobile experiences, and custom extensibility.

For SharePoint administrators, developers, and digital workplace teams, the winning entries provide a clear view into the platform areas gaining the most momentum in 2026.

What’s new

Microsoft recognized winners across six official categories:

• Most beautiful intranet home page: Digital for Future by Carlo Bresolin and Matteo Tomasulo
• Best mobile experience design for SharePoint: NOXEN Intranet by Francisca Peixoto and João Ferreira
• Best organized library using AI in SharePoint: Build Your Own Copilot Cowork with SharePoint
• Best use of SharePoint in AI agents: Generate Documents with Custom Copilot Agent in SharePoint by Plumsail
• Most innovative SharePoint experience with SPFx: MyHub — The JTI Employee Experience, Reimagined
• Most innovative solution with SharePoint Embedded: Nexus — AI-Powered Bid Management System

Microsoft also called out additional submissions for creative presentation, innovation, and visualization, showing the breadth of experimentation happening across the SharePoint community.

Why it matters for IT admins and developers

A few themes stand out from this year’s winners:

• AI is now central to SharePoint solutions. Several top projects used SharePoint as a grounding layer for agents, knowledge retrieval, and document generation.
• SPFx remains important for advanced customization. Custom web parts and extensibility still play a key role when out-of-box experiences are not enough.
• Mobile and employee experience design matter more than ever. Winning entries emphasized responsive, engaging intranet experiences delivered through Microsoft Teams and SharePoint.
• SharePoint Embedded is gaining traction. External app scenarios with embedded content services are becoming a more visible part of the platform story.

For organizations planning intranet refreshes or AI initiatives, these examples can help validate investment areas and inspire solution design.

Recommended next steps

IT teams and SharePoint leads should consider the following actions:

1. Review the winning projects and nominees for ideas relevant to your environment.
2. Evaluate where AI in SharePoint could improve search, content organization, or employee self-service.
3. Reassess whether SPFx or SharePoint Embedded could support upcoming business requirements.
4. Share the hackathon results with internal collaboration, development, and communications teams.
5. Watch the recorded award ceremony and community demos for deeper technical inspiration.

Microsoft also said it will continue engaging participants through community call demos and is collecting feedback to shape future hackathons. That makes this event more than a competition—it is also a roadmap signal for where SharePoint innovation is moving next.
