What judges actually want to see 👀 + Devpost Build Session
Hi there,
Judging kicks off June 30. Before you record your video or write your project description, let's talk about what actually makes a submission score well.

Hey builder —
You registered. You've got a deadline. And if you haven't gotten your credits yet — head to the Resources tab on the hackathon page to request your AWS and v0 credits while supplies last (you'll need a Track and an idea, but it's okay if you change your mind later!)
Now, let's talk about what actually matters this week: making a plan.
The difference between a great submission and a "welp, I ran out of time" submission usually comes down to one thing — the first hour. Not the last hour. The first.
Here's how…
