Judging Criteria

  • Readability/Understandability
    How readable and organized your code is, and the level of ease judges have when reading your code. Depending on your skill placement, it may also include your code's structure, flow, and documentation (if needed).
  • Efficiency
    How well your project does what the chosen prompt (or prompts) indicates it should do. It includes, but is not limited to, unnecessary lines of code, the code's size, brute-force solutions, etc.
  • Video Submission
    The refinement and creativity of the participant's or team's video submission, and how engaging it is. It also includes whether the code was demoed in the presentation.
  • Wow Factor/Complexity
    The project's level of sophistication for the given category and how well the project demonstrates the effort put into the code. It also includes how much the project exceeds the judges' expectations and whether any significant improvements must be made.
