To be eligible for a Carbon Hack 24 prize you must submit your project for judging. This year we are asking teams to take 3 simple steps:
- Prepare a video submission
- Update your project's GitHub issue
- Complete a form on the Carbon Hack website
Before you do that though, please:
- Familiarise yourself with the Prizes & Judging criteria before submitting to make you align with the key judging criteria.
- Review the timeline for judging and awards..
- Ensure you hav registered your project before submitting.
Watch the following video for additional guidance:
We are asking teams to prepare a short video demoing their hack project. We want to see what teams have built, not just a presentation.
- Videos should be no more than 3 minutes long
- Show us what you have actually built - We want to see a demo not a presentation
- Use our video presentation template at the start of your video
- Add your name to the title
- Choose the appropriate prize category slide
