We're thrilled to see the projects taking shape and can't wait to review them! We know judging is going to be tough with so many great submissions.

To support developers who encountered some challenges, we're extending the hackathon deadline to Monday at 9am Pacific Time to grant everyone the weekend to make any last minute changes. We won't be offering any further extensions. So, make the most of this extra time and get your submissions in - this is your final chance!

Announcements and Judging will not be impacted and are still planned for December 5th.
