Project and Submission Requirements
You are free to design any application or video game that you'd like, in any programming language engine, framework, etc. Hackers are incentivized to build their project towards our theme of Food & Agriculture!
All teams will submit a ZIP file of their project alongside a Git repository (GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, LFS, etc). All teams will participate in a "science fair" like judging environment where they will demo their project and talk about their work in an informal setting.
Submission can have team members between 1 to 4 hackers. For TigerHacks prizes, the team will recieve all 4 prizes regardless of team size. Sponsored prize categories may vary and only provide prizes to each individual member.
Submissions must be unique to TigerHacks and not be submitted other hackathons during the weekend. All development must be done between 6:30PM CST on 11/1 and 10:00AM CST on 11/3.
If you use any publicily available frameworks, LLMs, ChatGPT, or other AI tools, you must cite them in your Devpost submission. If your project relies on AI tools, be sure to focus on how you changed and built on it throughout the weekend.
You may not submit multiple projects but you may submit a single project to multiple categories. Developer and beginner categories are mutually exclusive. To qualify for the beginner category your team must consist of at least half hackers who are:
- a freshman or sophomore in computer science or any year in non-computing undergrads
- attending their first hackathon
TigerHacks reserves the right to reach out to adjust submission categories as seen fit by the planning committee.
