You’ve got complete creative freedom - build anything you want, from a well-researched pitch to a beautifully designed UI to a fully functional app. It’s totally up to you, as long as your project fits one of our challenge categories. (to be announced closer to the hackathon)

Submit a short video pitch of your project, and if you want, include the actual prototype or finished product. Your submission should clearly explain your idea, how it works, and why it matters. Creativity and clarity are key - wow us with your vision!

Judging Criteria

  • Creativity
    We’re looking for projects that showcase original thinking and genuine enthusiasm. How unique is the idea? Does it feel inspired and personal? Bonus points if it solves a problem in a new way or explores an unexpected angle.
  • Polish
    This is all about execution. How refined is the final product? This can include the visual design, user experience, and how well the pitch is delivered. A clean, thoughtful presentation to elevate your idea.
  • Depth
    We want to reward teams that went the extra mile. This includes both the technical complexity of the project and the amount of effort put in. Did they tackle a hard problem? Build something functional and robust?
