Requirements

For your hack/submission to be eligible for WinHacks 2025, it must follow the following terms and conditions:

  • Your hack must have been worked on only during the duration of WinHacks 2025. In some cases (such as using templates), it is ok to use starter code that was created before WinHacks 2025. However, this must be clearly stated in your submission or your hack will not be considered.
  • Your hack must contain a public GitHub repository link.
  • Your hack must contain a demo video no longer than 3 minutes in length.
  • Everyone who has worked on your hack must be a verified hacker in the WinHacks 2025 Discord server and register in-person.
  • Everyone who has worked on your hack must be present in your “team channel” on Discord.
    • Don’t have a team channel yet? Head to #instructions!
  • All team members must be listed on your Devpost submission. Any team member not listed on Devpost will not receive a prize.
  • Each hacker can be on only one team, and each team can submit only one project.
