Application

Only hackers who have received email acceptance can participate in the hackathon.

Hacking Rules

• Hacker teams are made up of a maximum of 4 people; minimum 1.
• All projects developed must be open-source;
• Hackers will be able to select prizes to apply to. A submissions can theoretically be used to apply to all the tracks, but please only apply to tracks that you are actually eligible for, if in doubt ASK AN ORGANIZER.

Pre-existing projects allowed

Our policy on existing projects is that a team may bring in an existing project provided that:

• The team must explicitly communicate in the submission that they are working on an existing project;
• The team must develop new functionalities or extensions of the project, and that part only will be considered during the judging process;
• The team must not create a new repository and "single commit" all their code: instead, the team must make their existing repository public and work on it. Only the commits after the hackathon starting period will be considered during the judging process;
• The team's project must be born at another hackathon and all previous iterations of the same project at previous hackathons must be linked in the submission. Existing projects that did not come into existence during previous hackathons are not allowed
• Make sure to describe your previous iterations in details and make sure you make it public or you risk being disqualified

<aside> ⚠️

If these conditions are not met the team will be categorically excluded from the hackathon and will not be eligible for the hackathon prizes or sponsor bounties.

Hackathon organizers, mentors, judges, and those involved will take extreme care to avoid fraudulent behavior by exploiting work already done that does not respect other hackers and the previously quoted rules.
