Judging Criteria and Winner Selection

You and your team will be given a 5 minute slot to present to your chosen title sponsor. Once the sponsor has seen all of their submissions, they will select a winner which will be announced in the final ceremony. Presentations can be done as an informal chat with the sponsor, a full-fledged powerpoint, or whatever you can think of!

As well as this, we have other prize categories that contestants are automatically entered in:

  • WHACKiest Hack Prize - The WHACK teams personal favourite hack
  • Most Creative Prize Hack - Something that is unique!
  • Best Solo Hack - If you tank the hackathon alone, you are in it to win it!
  • Best Costume - You wanted it, it's back!

Each of these will be decided by the 8 Lead Organisers of the event. We will be going round during the event, so make sure you show us anything cool you've built!
