IMPORTANT: Add "Our Team" Section to Devpost Written Submission by Dec 6 @ 10 AM EST!!

IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT!!

We've been absolutely LOVING LOVING LOVING the submissions so far & are so moved by your STORIES, especially those of incredible people/ teams coming together in their own unique ways.

That said, this "TEAM" part of the submisison sets (which is part of the judging criteria) has consistently been a weaker point in the solutions we've seen & want to ensure that your cool stories of what made each of you come to the hackathon + how you came together + what you bring as skills is highlighted.

Our ASK OF YOU (optional but highly recommended, must be done by 12 PM EST tmw/ Dec 6):

  • Add an "Our Team" header/ section at the end of the written component of your Devpost submission... This would be afer the sections on project inspiration, what the project does, how you built it, challenges you ran into, accomplishments, what you learned & what's next.
  • Edit if needed the written sections (not the video)... Some folks look to have rushed this part of their submissions, although most have done a fantastic job (with still the need to add team). The video will be the main thing that is evaluated, although judges will look at the written part + links as well.
  • Also, keep an eye out for messages in your team channel. We may be in touch if you had an issue in your submission, like a video not playing, strange formatting, an overly long vid or something like that... As well, we will send a confirmation message if everything there is submitted well.

In any case, deadline for the above is ~12 hours from now, or 10 AM EST tmw/ Dec 6... After this, project submisison sets will go to judges. Best of luck folks & excited to further review your submisisons!
