Judging Criteria
✨ Polish, Design, and Execution
What does the project look like? Is it intuitive, aesthetically pleasing, and accessible? And most importantly, does it actually work?

Does the hack look technically interesting or challenging? Is it simply putting a pretty frontend on an existing API or does it do something more?
💡 Originality and Creativity
How unique is the hack? Does it solve a new problem, or have a new take on an existing problem?
