Throughout the weekend join us for Fun Events & Games, Industry Workshops, and Amazing Food & Swag. But most importantly, get ready to have fun and learn a lot!
We can't wait to see what you build!!!
Requirements
First Submission/Team Registration
Your team needs to be registered by 11:00pm on Saturday (11/7). Don’t worry, you do not have to have your whole project done by this time. You will be able to edit your submission after the first submit. This is just to make sure your team is registered on Devpost. You will have until 12:00pm on Sunday to fully submit your project.
Final Submission
Your project needs to be finalized by noon (12:00pm) on Sunday! No edits can be made to your project after that time. Make sure you have at least the following:
- Project Title and Description
- Code Repository or Zip
- Challenges/Tracks you are submitting to
- Demo Video (should ONLY be a demo, maximum of 2 minutes)
You can only submit to a maximum of 3 sponsor challenge statements! (But you can submit to as many non-sponsor tracks as you want). Any challenge with [MLH] at the start does not count towards this limit
*Every submission will be considered for general judging
Note that you still must submit a project to be considered to win the CTF Challenge
