Judging Criteria
-
On target
Does the work product directly relate to the challenge proposed and would you consider it ‘complete?’ Does it relate directly to the fan experience? -
Creativity & Originality
Is the hack simply stats on a page, or did it provide something you haven’t seen before? Is it a twist on something you have seen, but in a better way? -
Usefulness
Is the hack something people would actually use? Does it fulfill a real need people might have? -
Design
Is the user experience smooth? Does everything appear to work as expected? Is it beautifully designed? -
Technical difficulty
Is the hack technically interesting or difficult? Is it just some lipstick on an API, or are there real technical challenges you feel needed to implement the hack?
