Design & Polish
We are looking for aesthetically pleasing projects with smooth and clear user experience.
Creativity
We are looking for original ideas or new angles on existing ideas. For example, using an API in a unique way. We know API's work - we want to see if you can do something new and awesome with them!
Practicality & Usefulness
We are looking for socially good projects that people would use. Additionally, we would like to emphasize that we will extensively check to make sure that your project doesn't only work on the cases you demo.
