If you are not present for your scheduled presentation, you will be disqualified from overall prizes/presentations.
The top 6 teams will move on to present on a judging panel, where we will discuss your project on video for around 10 minutes.
Note that the top 6 teams are contending for the overall hackathon winers. API sponsors may opt to select winners outside of this top 6.
