Have you checked the Submission Steps?
Don’t forget, you’re not done when you complete your project - completing the submission form can feel like another project unto itself! Almost every hackathon will have at least a couple of submission questions that are unique to that particular challenge. Don’t get caught with a list of questions you don’t have time to answer!
