Dates

Friday April 24th to Sunday April 26th.

Eligibility

Only those who have received an acceptance email from [email protected] may participate.

Project and Submission Requirements

Hackers are forbidden to work on pre-existing projects or to begin their projects before the hacking period starts on Friday 10:00PM—and no code written before the hacking period can be used. Teams will need to use a public GitHub repository for their project, and share the GitHub link, the demo video, and any deployment links through the Devpost submission on Sunday 10:0AM.

The judging process will be restricted to the Devpost submission, meaning in-person demos are not required and the winners will be purely selected based on their project and what they've shared on the Devpost.

Judging Criteria and Winner Selection

• Preliminary Theme Check

Pass or Fail — Does the project align with the theme?

• Execution

• Impact

20% — Does it solve a problem? Does it have real-world value?

• Creativity & Orginality

20% — Is it new and exciting? Does it push the boundaries for a hackathon project?

• Presentation

20% — Was the project explained clearly? Was the demo video interesting, persuasive, and in high-quality?
