Prizes

How do I win?

MinneHack's sponsors and organizers will evaluate each project submission and award prizes to teams based on a variety of factors. Those factors include, but are not limited to:

• Adherence to the prompt ^*
• Creativity ^*

Check at least one of these boxes, and you're guaranteed^* to win!

What if I don't win?

Smaller-scale events ("Mini Hacks") will be hosted during the hackathon on the Twitch stream. The prizes for those events will be announced as they are awarded, but rest assured: they are equally as cool as the main prizes.
