Submission Checklist: It’s Go Time!!

There is just one week left to enter your submission to the VCT Hackathon. Submissions are due October 23rd at 2pm PT.

Whether you’re nearly finished with your submission or have been putting it off and are planning to get everything done this week, the deadline is coming soon!! Get some tips from our submission form process, make sure all of your teammates have accepted their invitations to join the project, and use the checklist below to make sure you’re all set by the deadline! 

Submission checklist:

  • Code: Provide a URL to your code repository to show how your project was built.

  • Reminder: project must include a chat interface, which judges can use to interact with your submissions.

  • Demo: Include a video (should be about 3 minutes) that demonstrates your submission. Videos must be uploaded to YouTube, Vimeo, or Facebook Video and made public.

    • Judges will not be reviewing beyond 3 minutes.

  • Methodology Write Up: Should include a short explanation of how the model was trained and any notes about the methodology underlying team composition outputs. Include information about any other data sources used, and your findings and learnings as you worked through the project.

  • Tooling: Include an explanation of the AWS services used to build the project.

  • Optional Tagging: AWS enables you to assign custom tags to your resources. A tag is a key-value pair applied to a resource to hold metadata about that resource. Each tag is a label consisting of a key and an optional value. Not all services and resource types currently support tags (see Services that support the Resource Groups Tagging API). We recommend that any infrastructure you launch be tagged with “key: vct-hackathon value: 2024”.

  • Optional Access: Provide a public URL to your working app

  • The completed Devpost submission form

Be sure to read through the Official Rules more than once. Or better yet, have a friend or colleague provide a second pair of eyes to make sure you didn’t miss anything.

Good luck!
