Multiple Submissions: An Entrant may submit more than one Submission, however, each submission must be unique and substantially different from each of the Entrant’s other Submissions, as determined by the Sponsor and or judging team. The Sponsor may decide to disqualify an individual or team in the event of numerous similar or closely related submissions, or if the Sponsor determines that the individual or team has attempted to gain an unfair advantage.

Judging: Eligible submissions will be evaluated by a panel of judges selected by the Sponsor (the “Judges”). Judges may be employees of the sponsor or third parties, may or may not be listed individually on the Hackathon Website, and may change before or during the Judging Period. Judging may take place in one or more rounds with one or more panels of Judges, at the discretion of the sponsor.

Verification Requirement: THE AWARD OF A PRIZE TO A POTENTIAL WINNER IS SUBJECT TO VERIFICATION OF THE IDENTITY, QUALIFICATIONS AND ROLE OF THE POTENTIAL WINNER IN THE CREATION OF THE SUBMISSION. Award payments may be subject to identity verification before award payments can be disbursed. The final decision to designate a winner shall be made by the Sponsor.

Prize Delivery: For each award funded by the Sponsor, the Sponsor will disperse a single payment to the winning team. It will be the responsibility of the winning Entrant’s Representative to allocate the Prize among their Team or Organization’s participating members, as the Representative deems appropriate.

3rd Party Award Disclaimer: In addition to prizes offered by the Sponsor, the hackathon features prizes sponsored by a variety of supporting ecosystem teams. These participating ecosystem teams may choose to remit award payment to the Sponsor, in which case the Sponsor will disburse the award to the winning team consistent with its standard process, including identity verification. In cases where supporting ecosystem teams choose to award their winners directly, the supporting ecosystem team will be entirely responsible for award payment delivery, and the Sponsor will not be responsible for any issues that may arise, including but not limited to failure to deliver payment, payment delivery to incorrect address, or loss of funds.
