What is a valid submission?:

• You can build anything (i.e. an iOS app, web application, hardware) that's focused on a problem related to one of the four tracks
• The only guideline is that your submission must have code, i.e. cannot just be a prototype/idea/wireframe

Rules About Your Submission:

If your submission violates any of the following then it will not be considered for judging.

• You can only begin coding at the beginning of HackDuke, i.e. 10 am EST
• You cannot submit a project you began working on before our event or from a previous hackathon
• You can only submit to one track - if your submission covers multiple tracks you must choose which track you want to be considered for in judging
• Every member of your team must be:
  1. Registered for Code for Good,
  2. Registered and added as a team member on your Devpost submission.

Should I submit to a beginner prize?

• You can submit to a beginner prize if more than half of your team is first-time hackers!

You can submit only to one track but to however many sponsor prizes as you wish :)

Submitting to Devpost:

• Initial submissions are due at 3:30 pm EST on 12/06. Judging begins at 4:00 pm EST so you have 30 minutes to make any edits to your submissions before editing is closed.
  • You must have something submitted to Devpost by 3:30 pm EST to be considered for judging and prizes.
• Please plan ahead and allocate enough time to account for any potential technical difficulties with your submission!
• Video Guidelines - in lieu of live demos all hackers must submit a video (max 3 mins) explaining their project. Here are some guidelines for your video:
  • You must include "this is our HackDuke 2020 project" at some point in your video
  • Explain the overview/purpose of your project
  • Talk about the development and process of your submission
  • Detail any further work or expansion of your project
• Repo Guidelines - you must also link your project's public repo/codebase on Devpost
