FAQs

Which email should I use to create my Devpost account?

The email that you submitted in our registration form as your main point of contact will be most efficient for us to confirm that the submission is yours. 

Is a video presentation required?

A video pitch is not required, but strongrly recommended. Creating one is an indication of interest and, therefore, will most likely boost your chances of winning an award. In the case you decide to submit a video, it should be range from 2-4 minutes maximum and be unlisted YouTube format. Any video longer than that will not be considered as a part of your final submission. 

Do I need to fully code my entire project in order to enter?

It depends on the type of award you're aiming for. As an example, the "Most Technically Polished" award will go to a participant who demonstrated expertise and fluency within their code, while "Most Potentially Impactful" focuses on the idea behind the project. Coding in your project is looked upon favorably for higher level awards, but you technically do not need to code your project in order to win as this is a beginner hackathon.
