Almost every hackathon will have at least a couple of submission questions that are unique to that particular challenge. Don’t get caught with a list of questions you don’t have time to answer!
Did you know that you can review the questions ahead of time by starting your submission early? Remember: you can always continue editing your project up until the deadline. Check out some tips here.

Lights, Camera, Action! Submission video tips for hackers

Prep your elevator pitch and don’t forget to include:

tools you used
-
problem your project addresses

solution your project addresses
