Every year, AngelHack adventures across the globe for our yearly
Global Hackathon Series. Over the course of Summer 2018, we’ll hit
six continents, bridging the gap between Silicon Valley innovation and
entrepreneurs all over the world.
This year’s theme? SEAMLESS TECHNOLOGY. Hackathons are built for
rapid innovation, and rapid isn’t always pretty. But no matter the
roadblock, broken code or bumps, we continue on and push forward,
together. There’s no boundary or limit to what we can create.
So join us! Create something cool. Meet great people. Win great
prizes. Who knows, your founder journey may begin at AWS in Sydney!
We offer our own Grand Prize AND team up with awesome sponsors who
have their own challenges and prizes you can go after. Aiming for the
HACKcelerator invite? Only in it for some cool hardware? Good news,
you can go for as many challenges as you want!
ANGELHACK CHALLENGE: Challenge yourself and your entrepreneurial
spirit. Make something innovative without limits, something that
brings positive change to the world, even something that solves a
small problem. It’s that simple.
ANGELHACK PRIZE: The winning team from each HACKATHON WILL RECEIVE AN
invite into AngelHack’s HACKcelerator program
[https://medium.com/angelhack/meet-the-hackcelerators-37-new-startups-dbaeede057ad].
CODE FOR A CAUSE IMPACT AWARD CHALLENGE: Build technology that solves
a social or environmental problem and positively impacts your local
community.
CODE FOR A CAUSE IMPACT AWARD PRIZE: One Impact Award will be given
out at each event. At the end of the Global Hackathon Series, the top
Impact Award projects will be chosen by an expert judging panel
including; Chan Zuckerberg, Chan Zuckerberg Initiative; and more.
These top five teams will receive an official invite into the
HACKcelerator.
STAY TUNED FOR MORE PRIZES TO COME!
All ages, genders, and skill levels are welcome. Come solo or in a
team of up to five, and spend the weekend learning new skills, meeting
your local tech community and tech sponsors, enjoying free food, and
more.
Our attendees typically consist of developers looking to improve their
skills or expand their horizons, students, designers of all
skill-sets, and serious entrepreneurs that can add value to teams.
Bring your ideas and let’s go!

We know some rules are meant to be broken, but you should probably
(read: definitely) stick by these:
1. FRESH CODE - We all start coding at the same time. It’s cool to
work on designs beforehand, digital mockups, open source frameworks,
and anything else available to everyone, but keep things within fair
limits.
2. CODE REVIEW - Winning teams may be subject to a code-review at some
point following the event or immediately before winning. This is to
ensure that all code used is in fact fresh.
3. OWNERSHIP AND IP - You own your IP and whatever you create. Simple
as that.
4. TEAM SIZE - No more than five people.
5. SUBMISSIONS - Each HACKATHON HAS ITS INDIVIDUAL hackathon.io
[http://www.hackathon.io/] page where projects need to be submitted by
the designated time. You’ll receive an email with instructions on
how to do just that.
6. DEMOS - You’ll have 2 minutes to demo the functionality of your
project and talk through your idea, and 1 minute for Q&A from judges.
7. BE COOL TO YOUR FELLOW HACKERS! CHECK OUT OUR CODE OF CONDUCT

HOW IS THE HACKATHON JUDGED?
Projects will be judged based on the following criteria, with a total
of 5 points per criteria:
* FUNDABILITY: How fundable is this idea? Is there potential for a
sustainable business model?
* EXECUTION: How well was the project executed and explained? Did it
work?
* UI/UX: Beyond design, was the end-to-end user experience for the
solution considered?
* ORIGINALITY: How original, creative or unique is the idea?
* SCALABILITY: How scalable is the solution? Will it make an impact?
