This year's event began on February 6, and Apple accepted submissions through Saturday, February 28 before judging began.\n\nApple plans to choose winners based on submissions that demonstrate \"excellence in innovation, creativity, social impact, or inclusivity.\"\n\nAll Swift Student Challenge Winners in 2026 will be eligible to enter the lottery process to attend Apple's June 8 WWDC Special Event at the Apple Park campus in Cupertino, California.\n\nApple will also recognize Distinguished Winners whose submissions are \"truly exceptional.\" Distinguished Winners will be invited to Cupertino for a three-day experience that will include the Special Event keynote viewing along with other activities, and these winners will not need to enter the lottery to visit ‌Apple Park‌.\n\nStudents who entered the challenge can expect to receive an email notifying them about their status later this week.\n\nRelated Roundup: WWDC 2026\n\nRelated Forum: Apple, Inc and Tech Industry\n\n\nThis article, \"Apple to Announce 2026 Swift Student Challenge Winners on March 26\" first appeared on MacRumors.com\n\nDiscuss this article in our forums\n\n",
