Do I need to pay any money to register for the Hackathon? Yes, you will need to pay the entrance fee of RM50 at our Eventbrite page. Failure to pay will disqualify you and possibly your entire team from this hackathon.

Do I need to have any specific qualifications to be a participant for the Hackathon? You do not need any specific qualifications. It is up to you to convince your team of your worth and the value you may bring to your team.

How do I submit what I have made for the Hackathon? You just need to submit your project via this Hacker Earth website. You are not required to submit the code although the judges may enquire about it should it be relevant to their decision.

Do we need to have the entire idea fully working? The entire idea need not be fully implemented however, the submission should be functional so that it can be reviewed by the judges. Usually, the more complete the solution, the better your chances are of winning.

How is the environment? Will your environment support any language? Will you provide any IDE and DB for us to work on ideas? You have to develop the entire software application on your local system. You can also develop it on the Alcatel-Lucent platform should you decide to use it.

Does one have to be online and available for the entire duration of the Hackathon? No, one does not need to be logged in on HackerEarth or be online for the entire duration. You can develop the application on your local system based on the given themes and then submit it on HackerEarth, on the specific challenge page.

Since there is no specific technology mentioned, are there any restrictions on using number of pre-built libraries? There is no restriction to use any language, technology stack, or libraries. You can use any of them to create the web/mobile application.

Do I need to give a demo for the product that I have built? If you want, you can submit a small presentation or video that demos your submission, however it's not mandatory, and only good to have. You are expected to give a physical demo on the presentation day, however, and this will usually put you in a better position to be noticed.

A fully developed application need to have a solid backend for data storage like SQL, SharePoint etc. since its online, is it accepted to show only the proto type of it? Yes it's absolutely fine to submit just the prototype. If you use any database like MySQL or PostgresSQL you can also submit a database dump along with your submission. However you are allowed to submit just the prototype.

If it is a team submission, does that mean all team members will have access to work at the same time? Yes, all team members can login from their account and do application submission on HackerEarth.

Who will own the IP(Intellectual Property) Rights to the product that I have built? The developer/developers of the web/mobile application will have all rights and own the IP of the product.
