Our hackathon is dedicated to providing a harassment-free experience for everyone, regardless of gender, gender identity and expression, age, sexual orientation, disability, physical appearance, body size, race, ethnicity, nationality, religion, previous hackathon attendance or computing experience (or lack of any of the aforementioned). We do not tolerate harassment of hackathon participants in any form. Sexual language and imagery is not appropriate at any hackathon venue, including hacks, talks, workshops, parties, social media and other online media. Hackathon participants violating these rules may be sanctioned or expelled from the hackathon at the discretion of the hackathon organizers.

Participants are welcome to build the projects by themselves or in collaboration with another participant. However, there can only be a maximum of four participants per team. Projects are judged based on the following criterions:

• Technical Difficulty - How difficult was your idea to 'hack'? Did you slap together APIs or did you challenge yourself with new technologies?
• Completion - Would a random person be able to use your 'hack' without any difficulty? Would their experience be flawless and as intended?
• Usefulness - How practical is your 'hack' in today's world? Would you use it outside of QueensHack?
• Polish - Does your 'hack' look appealing? If another 'hack' had the same functionality, would someone choose yours over it based on the design?
