1) The project must be your own work.

2) All your core project code must be written during the hackathon. It's fine if you want to use an idea you had before, but it must not be one you have developed code for, submitted to any other event, or fleshed out in any way.

3) All submissions should be done through devpost and include each team member

4) All submissions must include a link to a GitHub Repository with their code

5) All submissions must include a link to a YouTube video going over their project. It's highly recommended that you discuss your project's potential impact, how you built it, and a demonstration of your project running. All videos must be less than four minutes long. Be sure to mention what problem your solving with your project or what area of inclusivity your project aims to address. Also, make sure to highlight what you use large language models for. All team members do not need to be present in the video.

6) Projects should address a real-world problem faced by BIPOC or underserved communities and leverage AI or related technologies.

7) Updates and Changes:

Awaiken reserves the right to make updates or changes to the rules or schedule as necessary. Any changes will be communicated to participants via email and on the official hackathon website.
