This year we have changed how teams will submit their projects to accommodate the virtual judging process. Here are the two steps you must take to submit your project and be considered for any awards.

*** View our policy of project submission eligibility and cheating here.

Submit your project and Devpost link at expo.hack.gt *expo.hack.gt will be available around midday Saturday, October 23rd.

• This year we are introducing a new submission system to ensure that your project is submitted correctly! To be eligible for judging, you must submit your project at expo.hack.gt and link your Devpost project URL. 
• Make sure to include which awards you want to be considered for at this site (all teams are automatically considered for the overall award). You must do this in both your Devpost submission and here! 
• We’ll automatically verify that your project is submitted correctly and enroll your team for judging. This portal will be your go-to location throughout the judging process so make sure your project is submitted there!

Post your project on Devpost

• All projects that want to be considered for judging must be submitted by 8:00am EST Sunday, October 24th on HackGT’s Devpost. Make sure to include the following in your Devpost submission:
• A video demoing your project (no more than 2 minutes in length). Treat it like a demo you would give to a judge if it were in person
• A brief description of your project
• Links to your public Github repository or other documentation
• What awards you would like to be judged for (sponsor, emerging, etc).

For any problems with submissions (they happen every year), please send a message in Piazza and our team will help you out!
