This document outlines the rules, schedule, and judging criteria for AngelHack Manila 2014, a hackathon event taking place from July 26-27. Key details include:
- Teams of 3-5 are allowed to build new projects from scratch during the event.
- Winning teams will undergo a code review and keep full ownership of their projects.
- The schedule includes keynotes, sponsor sessions, hacking time, and two rounds of judging on criteria like impact, innovation, and execution.
- Prizes include travel packages, technology bundles, and credits for participating sponsors.
2. RULES
1. Fresh Code
We all start coding at the same time. This is done to keep things fair. Please don’t come in and build on top of
previous projects if you want to win. It’s cool to wok on designs beforehand, digital mockups, open source
frameworks, and anything else available to everyone, but try to keep things within just limits.
2. Code Review
Winning teams will be subject to a code-review at some point following the event or immediately before
winning.
3. Ownership and IP
Teams have full ownership of everything they build at our events and are free to do with it as they wish.
4. Team Size
Teams of up to 3-5 humans are allowed. You can also add 1 cyborg, Furby, drone, or Sphero.
5. Submissions
Each hackathon has it’s individual hackathon.io page, which projects should be submitted on. Submission time
is normally 1pm Sunday unless stated otherwise.
6. DEMO your Hack
You must demo your hack in order to present. No slide-decks or power-points will be allowed. Don’t be scared
if you didn’t finish… it is okay long as you tried your best.
7. Have fun
It’s a hackathon! Use whatever languages or hacks you have in your arsenal. Show us hardware. Show us
new concepts. Show us anything you’d like.
