#Yo, you’re judging a hackathon.
Let’s get some order in this place of insanity.
At the end of the hackathon, we’ll have the teams present their projects. To judge winners, we’ll use these standards. We recommend to choose the top three projects based on math across three judges, though these can also remain just guidelines.
###Presentation Does the project, demo or presentation suggest that the project has reached a stage of completion? Is the problem and attempted solution clearly defined? (1 = no; 3 = somewhat; 5 = yes)
###Idea Creativity Is the project built on an initial idea or concept that is compelling and/or does the final product suggest some ingenuity or particularly thoughtful process? (1 = no; 3 = somewhat; 5 = yes)
###Sustainability Do you expect this project to have extended influence by way of a likely champion or stakeholder and/or is it aware of, built in conjunction or partnership with past projects, related ideas or concepts to reduce redundancy? (1 = no; 3 = somewhat; 5 = yes)
###Impact Will this project enact an immediate or near-term change and/or will it play a large or important role to fill a defined need for a clear user? (1 = no; 3 = somewhat; 5 = yes)
###Technical quality Are there significant technological or other related project advancements during this hackathon, excluding previous work and is it of high quality embracing open web standards? (1 = no; 3 = somewhat; 5 = yes)
###Tie breaker Which project is more likely to more completely fulfill its mission?
