Judging Session

The official judging session for Building The Future Of Personal AI – Hackathon will start at the time announced by the Organization and will last for the period defined in the official schedule. During this session, teams will showcase their projects live to the selected jury. After the submission deadline, each team will be assigned to a group of judges responsible for evaluating their work.

Teams may also have the opportunity to showcase their project to partner sponsors if they applied to any bounties. In these cases, judging process, time, and criteria are defined solely by the sponsors. Organizers are not responsible for how these opportunities are allocated. Usually, hackers will visit the sponsor booth or schedule a quick online meeting to demonstrate their project.

We highly encourage all participants to remain at the venue until the end of the Closing Ceremony to ensure they do not miss their judging slots.
