Judging Criteria
-
Originality
Is the hack more than just another generic social/mobile/local app? Does it do something entirely novel, or at least take a fresh approach to an old problem? -
Technical Difficulty
Is the hack technically interesting or difficult? Is it just some lipstick on an API or were there real technical challenges to surmount? -
Demo Quality
Is your demo video clear, understandable, and under 120 seconds? Can we understand what you did and why? Does the demo work? Does your project show care and polish? -
Usefullness
Is the hack practical? Is it something people would actually use? Does it fulfill a real need people have?
