Let's Get Cookin' !
DubHacks, UW Seattle's annual 36 hour hackathon is back, and this time, we're turning up the heat. Orders are flying in and the pressure’s on. Work together, think fast, and build something unforgettable. Great things aren’t made alone; they’re cooked up as a team!
Each year, DubHacks brings in 1200+ hackers to the University of Washington for a weekend of building, learning, and connecting with sponsors, mentors, and fellow hackers from across the country. Participants form teams of up to four, choose from sponsor challenges and themed tracks, and compete for over $40,000 in prizes while getting support from mentors and engineers from top tech companies. So grab your team, bring your ideas, and let's get cookin'!
Requirements
What To Build
Each team is required to submit their project to exactly one title track, and can additionally participate in up to three sponsored side tracks and as many non-sponsored side tracks as they want! Most of our tracks are very open ended so you can build anything you can think of!
What to Submit
All projects must be submitted through Devpost. We require that a draft of your project is submitted to Devpost Saturday, 10/17 before 10:30 PM. In this submission, you must add all members of your team as contributors (including their Discords), and also declare the tracks you'll be submitting to. If you do not submit a draft on Saturday night, you will not be able to participate in judging on Sunday! Your final Devpost submission is due Sunday, 10/18, before 10:00 AM. Please ensure you submit both a draft and a final submission!
Note: Some side tracks will use a video submission in place of an in-person judging round. Please check your hacker guide for more information on tracks!
