Judging criteria

Criteria as listed on the official page; weights are not stated there, so they are drawn equal. source ↗

Technical Execution and Difficulty20%

How technically impressive is the build? Did the team tackle real engineering challenges with image AI, computer vision, or generative models, with thoughtful model choice and non-trivial integration? Thin API wrappers should score lower.

Innovation and Creativity20%

How original is the idea? Does the project take a fresh angle, combine tools unexpectedly, or explore a use case that feels genuinely new? Generic clones of well-known apps score lower than projects that surprise the judge.

Use of the Image AI Theme20%

Is image AI, computer vision, or a generative visual model a core part of the project, not a cosmetic add-on? How fully does it embrace the "image everything" theme? If the image AI could be removed without breaking the core experience, score lower.

Impact and Usefulness20%

Does the project address a real problem or serve a real need? Is there a clear user, a clear benefit, and a plausible path to someone actually using this beyond the hackathon weekend? Score higher for projects that make "who cares" easy to answer.

Design, Presentation, and Demo20%

Is the interface clean and the visual output polished? Does the demo video (3 min or less) and Devpost write-up clearly communicate what the project is, what problem it solves, and how it works? A great project buried under a confusing demo scores lower.

How a beginner can ship

  1. Read the rules page

    Check eligibility, team rules and what must be submitted.

  2. Pick one idea from the word cloud

    Choose one problem and one user; cut everything else.

  3. Build the smallest working version

    One flow that works end to end beats five half features.

  4. Record the demo early

    Most Devpost judging leans on the video and description.
