Judges


Ideation advice. The judging criteria is skewed towards real world problem solving and creation. The best hacks that come out of HackED all have great answers to the question, "What is a problem and how can I solve it?" If you can wow the judges and design a great experience too, even better.

How judging works. Projects submitted to hacked.hackerearth.com will demo to judges that will come to your assigned table. Tables assigned during the event. Your team is allotted 3 minutes to demo your project. The judges are asked to ask you questions to help their understanding of your hack.

  • You may not begin working on your project before 12:00 AM MT on Saturday, January 27. No work may be completed before this time, with the exception of pre-printing or cutting 3D parts or other hardware components.
  • You must submit your project at hacked.hackerearth.com before 12:00 PM MT on Sunday, January 28 to be eligible to present your project.
