• Presentation - The quality of the 5-minute presentation and polish of the project
• Idea - The idea of the project and how well it relates to the selected category
• Implementation - The functionality of the project and how well it implements the idea

Best Overall Hack will be awarded once all judges determine the winner for their respective category. The judges will come to a consensus on the winner utilizing the aforementioned judging criteria. The prize for the winner's category will be given to second place in the category.
