Announcing the winners...

Hi folks,

Deadline July 21st and platform updates

We want to clarify the submission deadline for the hackathon. Until recently, the hackathon page mistakenly showed a deadline of July 15th (5:00pm PT) while the official rules said July 21st. We apologize for any confusion this may have caused and corrected the deadline. Here’s what you need to know:

  • Final submission deadline: July 21, 2025 at 5:00pm PT
  • All other rules and requirements remain the same
  • The deadline on the hackathon page has been updated to reflect the new date
