Requirements
Submission can be anything you created through code during the hackathon. Games, websites, and apps are all great ideas. Projects don't have to be fully complete, but we want to see that you worked on your code to the best you could. The requirements are listed below.
1. The team or individual must have started coding their project on June 17th at the start time of the opening ceremony (12 CST). All projects must be submitted to devpost before 1:00 CST. We will extend the deadline only if your team experienced technical issues.
2. All submissions must include a 2-minute video showing a clear demo and explanation of the project. Please include the voice of every team member if possible.
3. Please write around 1 or 2 sentences for each question on the devpost submission. An essay isn't required, but please share the story behind your project!
4. Cross submission- submitting your project to multiple hackathons happening on the same days is allowed as long as you did not start coding before the opening ceremony of Space City Hacks.
5. Submitting previously created projects to the hackathon or submitting projects that you did not create is forbidden.
