Judging Criteria

  • Technology & Execution
    How technically impressive was the hack? Was the technical problem the team tackled difficult? Did it use a particularly clever technique or did it use many different components? Did the technology involved make you go “Wow”?
  • Design
    Did the team put thought into the user experience? How well designed is the interface? If the team did not build a specific application, how well did they convey their results using visuals?
  • Presentation
    How well was the project presented? Did it make the hack more compelling? Did it give a good idea of its purpose?
  • Usefulness
    Is the hack practical? Is it something people would actually use? Does it fulfill a real need people have?
  • Completion
    Does the hack work? Did the team achieve everything they wanted?
