About the challenge

Hack Avenue 2023 is a two-day hackathon that provides a platform for students to unleash their creativity and develop innovative solutions to real-world problems. Students can team up and participate together, choosing any topic from the given problem statements, and can make a project using any tech stack. They will be free to use any technology, framework, programming language(s), database(s), and cloud platform of their choice.

Requirements

All projects must be submitted before 11:59 AM IST on April 20th. For submissions, we require the following:

 

  • A brief written description of your project, including the inspiration behind it, the process of building it, its key features, any challenges encountered, and future plans for the project (maximum of 100 words each). Bullet points are acceptable.
  • Your code should be hosted on a public GitHub repository.
  • You must also submit a link to a Google Drive folder containing your presentation in either PowerPoint (PPT) or PDF format. Please ensure that the sharing settings of the Drive folder are set to "Anyone with the link can view" so that the judges and organizers can access your presentation. Your presentation should effectively communicate the key aspects of your project, including its purpose, features, and impact.
  •  It is also highly recommended, but not strictly required, to give the working deployed link of your project. 

 

SUBMISSION RULES
  • You are not permitted to develop code before 9:00 AM IST on April 19th.
  • You may not use any code that was created prior to the hackathon. However, the use of open-source libraries/packages is allowed.
  • Collaboration is limited to the members of your team. However, you may seek input and assistance from the broader community.
  • Plagiarism of code is strictly prohibited.
  • Teams must consist of no more than four members.
