Teams
Teams can be anywhere from 2-5 members and all members should be either developers or designers.
Demo
At the end of the hackathon you'll have 5 mins to show off your work. You are allowed to work on your project before the hackathon but for judging purposes we'll only consider what you build at the hackathon. Demos must be live code. We understand if you need to mock or hardcode certain screens, but we will not accept demos in the form of PowerPoints or wireframes.
In the interest of time, presenters will not have to take questions.
Awards: Grand Winner and Audience Favorite
Grand Winner - We will rate the winner on the following criteria:
* Impact - Will the application have real impact? Will it solve an advertiser's problem?
