QurantineHacks 2020 is a 48-hour hackathon open to everyone to participate on July 10 - 12!

Judging Criteria

  • Technical Difficulty
    Is the hack technically interesting or difficult? Is it just some lipstick on an API, or were there real technical challenges to surmount? This is the most important criterion that your hack will be judged upon for the general prizes.
  • Exceptionality
    How outstanding is the project? Does it feature complex technologies? Does it stand out from other submissions?
  • Practicallity
    Is the application ready for deployment? How realistic is it?
  • Originality
    Is the hack more than just another generic social/mobile/local app? Does it do something entirely novel, or at least take a fresh approach to an old problem?
