Eligibility

You must be a UK university student who has registered and been approved for a ticket via Universe, has arrived and been admitted to the venue in-person. To do this you must present your ticket to be scanned, as well as valid ID and student ID.

Teams

Teams can be formed of up to 4 participants - if you attempt to enter as a team of more than 4, you will not be considered for prizes. You can participate as an individual, though we recommend working in a team, and we will be running team building at the start of hacking to form teams if you come to the hackathon as an individual.

Submissions

You must submit your project to Devpost by 12:00pm on Sunday 9th February for your submission to be counted. Any code you submit must have been produced by your team within the 24h hacking period (you may not use code you have worked on prior to the hackathon), and it must only be submitted to LeedsHack.

Challenges

You can submit to as many sponsor challenge as you wish as well as the overall challenge.

Use of tools and frameworks

You can use external tools and frameworks as you wish, and we encourage you to use relevant APIs as well as resources provided by our sponsors. We ask that you credit external tool use in your README.md. Use of LLMs and AI tools is permitted, as long as it is explicity credited, although we encourage you to challenge yourself to develop your own coding and problem solving skills at LeedsHack, which is free compared to a $200 ChatGPT subscription!

Code of conduct

You also agree to follow the Hackathons UK Code of Conduct by entering LeedsHack; failure to follow this code of conduct will lead to your submission not being allowed and you may be asked to leave.

You own the IP for any code you submit to challenges.
