Judging Criteria
-
Design
Good design is a core factor behind every great project! Design can be showcased in your project: aesthetics, user factors or creativity. The design should also fit the nature of the hack - what works well for a mobile app might not for a game! -
Challenge x Complexity
Was this a challenging project to attempt? Did you learn anything new while working on it? Do you have a working demo to showcase? -
Originality
How original, unexpected, creative or out-of-the-box is your idea? -
Presentation
How well did you present your hack to the judges?
