Judging Criteria
-
Impact/Usefulness
This category will be based solely on the idea. We look for hacks that have a large impact in their respective category. Is the hack impactful and relevant to the prompt? Does it fulfill a real need people have? -
Originality
This category will be based solely on the idea. Inspire innovation in the next generation of students. Does it do something entirely novel, or at least take a fresh approach to an old problem? -
Feasibility/Practicality
This category will be based solely on the idea. At VC Hacks, we look for new and original ideas. We want hackers to think outside the box, but we also want the ideas to be somewhat practical. Is this project feasible and practical in the next 3-5 years? -
Technical Difficulty
Is the hack technically interesting or difficult to develop? Is it a simple API mashup or is it a comprehensive effort that leverages advanced architecture, tough algorithms, and various libraries and languages? -
Polish/Design
Clean and seamless hacks are hard to come by. Is the hack usable in its current state? Does everything appear to work as intended? Does it deliver a seamless user experience? Is it visually appealing? Is it mostly bug-free?
