We're looking to see a creative approach to solving a problem with your hack. This includes (but is not limited to) a unique or fun UI design, an outside-of-the box solution, or a fun theme/vision for your hack. -
Impact
We're looking for hacks that solve a real problem – things that you or I would appreciate using in our daily lives. -
