To be eligible for judging, each team must submit the following:
🧠 1. Working AI Project
- Build a fully functional project that solves a real-world problem using:
- An AI or ML model (custom-built or integrated)
- A dataset (public, synthetic, or self-collected)
- A working user interface (web app, mobile app, or dashboard)
- The solution must demonstrate a clear end-to-end flow — data input → AI processing → output visualization or result.
- All code must be original and created during the hackathon period.
📦 2. Devpost Submission
Your submission on Devpost must include:
-
Project Title & Description:
- Clearly describe what problem your project solves, how it uses AI, and who benefits.
-
Demo Video (≤ 3 minutes):
- Show your project in action (interface + AI functionality).
- Explain your model’s purpose, data used, and key results.
- Upload to YouTube or Vimeo and include the public link.
-
Public GitHub Repository:
- Must include source code, documentation, and an open-source license.
- Provide setup instructions and dependencies for judges to test.
-
Working Demo / Deployed Link:
- A live web app, hosted dashboard, or accessible testing environment.
- If the app is private, include test credentials.
-
Documentation File (README):
- Describe model design, dataset details, and system architecture.
- Include clear installation and run steps.
🧩 3. Optional (but Encouraged)
-
- Architecture Diagram or Flowchart: Visualize how your AI pipeline works.
- Performance Metrics: Include evaluation results or benchmarks.
- Ethics & Responsibility Note: Briefly explain how your AI handles bias, fairness, or privacy.
4. Eligibility Notes
-
- Projects must be new and original for this hackathon.
- Reusing old work, templates, or previously submitted ideas will disqualify the entry.
- Team size: up to 4 members.
