Our hackathon will take place on July 20th. You can work in a team of up to 4 or individually for this hackathon. If you are a beginner or have less experience in programming, we will take that into account while judging projects to make sure everyone has a fair chance at awards.

Requirements

Submission can be anything you created through code during the hackathon.  Games, websites, and apps are all great ideas. Projects don't have to be fully complete, but we want to see that you worked on your code to the best you could. The requirements are listed below.

The hackathon is only 24 hours, therefore projects do not need to be fully functional or polished. Try your best in the limited time, and we encourage you to develop your project further after the hackathon.

1. The team or individual must have started coding their project on July 20th at the start time of the opening ceremony.  All projects must be submitted to DevPost before the deadline (to be declared). We will extend the deadline only if your team experiences technical issues. 

Important: We are asking for some sort of verification that you did start your project on July 20th. We have a Google form sent out where you can upload or link time-stamped code repositories. https://forms.gle/TKgJ5L1pVuFHjHWV6

2. All submissions must include a 1-2 minute video showing a clear demo and explanation of the project. Please include the voice of every team member if possible.

3. Please write around 1 or 2 sentences for each question on the devpost submission. An essay isn't required, but please share the story behind your project!

4. Cross submission- submitting your project to multiple hackathons happening on the same days is allowed as long as you did not start coding before the opening ceremony of Space City Hacks.

5. Submitting previously created projects to the hackathon or submitting projects that you did not create is forbidden.
