Judging Criteria
-
Entrepreneurship
The project's potential beyond the hackathon: does this project have commercial viability? Projects with the greatest entrepreneurship are not necessarily the projects with the highest potential profitability, but that satisfy consumer needs. -
Ingenuity
This incorporates creativity and originality. Projects with high ingenuity should be unique, and solve a problem in a novel and effective way. -
Completeness
How much did the team do with their time? Projects that score highly should be polished and fully functional. -
Presentation Quality
Was the presentation thorough and convincing? Well presented projects are compelling and have complete and rehearsed presentations. -
Complexity
Was the project of a high technical difficulty? High scoring teams are ambitious in their undertakings. -
Judges' Impressions
