Project Submission

Submission is done on DevPost. Teams of up to 4 are allowed to submit to one of 3 tracks that will be released when hacking begins.

Make sure your project submission abides by the WildHacks Project Rules. Failure to do so may result in disqualification.

Round 1 Submission Requirements

All submissions must include all of the following:

  • A link to a public GitHub repository containing all of your project's source code.
  • A showcase video no longer than 2.5 minutes showcasing your project.
  • A written description of your project.

Round 1 Showcase Video

Your demo video is the first thing judges see for your project, so make sure it's engaging and shows off why your project deserves to win! We recommend a structured approach to address our judging criteria:

  • ~30 seconds: What problem your project is addressing, why it's important, and how your project solves it.
  • ~30 seconds: What technologies your project uses (APIs, programming languages, frameworks, etc.).
  • ~60 seconds: A demo that showcases the features of your project.

For 2026, Round 1 videos are highly discouraged from extraneous video editing. We encourage WildHackers to focus on demonstrating their application.
