# How to Create a Competition

After registering on the platform and paying for the corresponding plan, you can now create your first competition. In this section, you will learn about the different types of challenges and find out how to easily create your first competition. Let's get started!

## My competition page

After registering, the organizer is directly forwarded to the **My competition** page. On this page, you can create new competitions and see those that were already created.

## Search for Competitions

### How to sort competitions

In order to make the search for competitions easier, you have the option to sort competitions. You can sort competitions by the following criteria:

To search for a competition, we have a very convenient filter with many settings. Let's explore them:

* The **Search** setting helps to find the challenge by name.
* The **Challenge** type setting helps to navigate through the types of challenges when you mark the relevant checkboxes in the search results.
* The **Status** setting will show challenges with the corresponding status in the search results.
* The **Location** setting will filter competitions by location. You can choose several options at once.
* The Drop-down list of **Tags** helps to find competitions based on the tags that the organizer attached to the challenge.
* The **Clear** filter button clears filters to the default mode.

## Creating a Competition: First Step

It's time to create a competition! In order to provide you with the example, we'll choose the competition type **Hackathon**.

{% hint style="info" %}
**Don't worry!** Most of the settings for different competition types are similar to each other, so you can choose any other type template or create a competition without a template and set it up the same way as in our example.
{% endhint %}

On the **My competitions** page click on the **Create** competition button and select the competition type **Hackathon**.

{% hint style="info" %}
After logging in to the platform you can access **My competitions** page through the user’s menu.
{% endhint %}
