Get started on your video
You only have today and tomorrow until 5 PM PT to enter your submission for So you think you can hack!
Submissions are due June 16th @ 5 PM PT.
Start your submission here
Might as well start a draft now and edit it as much as you would like before the deadline.
Don’t forget your video
You might be focused on getting your project working for the judges, however, the submission video needs time too! It's often the first (and sometimes only!) thing that judges review.
Your video tells the story behind your submission and should showcase your project, thought process, and talent:
- You only have 280 seconds to make an impression; make it count!
- Prep your elevator pitch and don’t forget to include:
- How your project meets the hackathon requirements,
- Datasets and models you used, and
- The problem your project addresses.
- Demo your project in a way that shows judges how real-world users will interact and benefit from it.
- Time-saving Tip
- Write out your script and practice it before you record to ensure you cover everything within the time limit without diminishing the quality of your explainer.
- Pro(crastinator) Tip
- We CANNOT stress this enough: Don't wait until the last minute to upload your video! Due to file size, format, and your Internet connection, uploading a video to Facebook Video, YouTube, Vimeo, or Youku could take anywhere from a few minutes to several hours.
- There have been many times a submission becomes ineligible due to errors with video rendering and uploading.
Lights, Camera, Action!
