All times are East Africa Time (EAT).

• Teams have 1 to 4 people. No more than 4 per team.
• Every team member must register and check in.
• Each team submits one project.
• The hackathon is free, virtual and open to all skill levels.

• Your project must be working software that meaningfully uses Jac, with at least 80% of the code in Jac.
• All coding happens during the event. Brainstorming beforehand is fine. Repos are checked.
• Submit through this Devpost page: a GitHub link, a demo video of the working project, and a written description that explains how you used Jac or Jaseci tools. The demo video must be in by the deadline.
• Star the Jac repo at github.com/jaseci-labs/jac.
• Submit on time. Late entries can't win. The deadline is Saturday 17 October, 3:30 PM EAT.
• Be kind and build in good faith. Misrepresenting a project means disqualification.

Judges evaluate every eligible project after submissions close. Projects are judged on:

• Technical execution
• Excellent use of Jac and Jaseci
• Creativity and innovation
• Depth of agentic behaviour
• Impact and novelty
• Clear presentation and demo video

Judging is virtual. Winners are announced within 3 to 5 working days after submissions close.
