Every year, AngelHack adventures across the globe for our yearly Global Hackathon Series. Over the course of Summer 2018, we’ll hit six continents, bridging the gap between Silicon Valley innovation and entrepreneurs all over the world.
This year’s theme? Seamless Technology. Hackathons are built for rapid innovation, and rapid isn’t always pretty. But no matter the roadblock, broken code or bumps, we continue on and push forward, together. There’s no boundary or limit to what we can create.
So join us! Create something cool. Meet great people. Win great prizes. Who knows, your founder journey may begin at AWS in Manhattan!

We know some rules are meant to be broken, but you should probably (read: definitely) stick by these:
1. Fresh Code - We all start coding at the same time. It’s cool to work on designs beforehand, digital mockups, open source frameworks, and anything else available to everyone, but keep things within fair limits.
2. Code Review - Winning teams may be subject to a code-review at some point following the event or immediately before winning. This is to ensure that all code used is in fact fresh.
3. Ownership and IP - You own your IP and whatever you create. Simple as that.
4. Team Size - No more than five people.
5. Submissions - Each hackathon has its individual <a href="http://www.hackathon.io/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">hackathon.io</a> page where projects need to be submitted by the designated time. You’ll receive an email with instructions on how to do just that.
6. Demos - You’ll have 2 minutes to demo the functionality of your project and talk through your idea, and 1 minute for Q&A from judges.
7. Be cool to your fellow hackers! Check out our <a href="https://drive.google.com/a/angelhack.com/file/d/0B96JKELGAqzhZzhJRDVJREZmQVU/view?usp=sharing" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Code of Conduct</a>.


How is the hackathon judged?Projects will be judged based on the following criteria, with a total of 5 points per criteria:
<ul>
<li>Fundability: How fundable is this idea? Is there potential for a sustainable business model?</li>
<li>Execution: How well was the project executed and explained? Did it work?</li>
<li>UI/UX: Beyond design, was the end-to-end user experience for the solution considered?</li>
<li>Originality: How original, creative or unique is the idea?</li>
