What started as a way for creators to connect and move their ideas forward turned into an industry evolution. No matter what the platform, the technology or programming languages used, innovators come from all around the world to join forces to elevate themselves and their platform to revolutionize the industry and it all starts with Hackathon.

CHALLENGE:
Five mandatory problems will be defined. Challenge yourselves and your entrepreneurial spirit to innovative without limits, and solve these industry problems.

Everyone is welcome. Great ideas stem from discussion, and we believe the best discussions are started by talking to anyone else whose background or experiences might be differed from your own.

2. Code Review – Winning teams may be subject to a code-review at some point following the event or immediately before winning. This is to ensure that all code used is in fact fresh.
3. You may use any pre compiled open source and publicly available libraries. However any fresh code has to be written onsite.
4. Ownership and IP – You own your IP and whatever you create.
5. Team Size – No more than 4 team members.
