6. Judges & Criteria

Eligible submissions will be evaluated by a panel of judges selected by the Sponsor (the “Judges”). Judges may be employees of the sponsor or third parties, may or may not be listed individually on the Hackathon Website, and may change before or during each Judging Period. Judging may take place in one or more rounds with one or more panels of Judges, at the discretion of the sponsor. 

Stage One) The first stage will determine via pass/fail whether the ideas meet a baseline level of viability, in that the Project reasonably fits the theme and reasonably applies the required APIs/SDKs featured in the Hackathon.

Stage Two) All Submissions that pass Stage One will be evaluated in Stage Two based on the following equally weighted criteria (the “Judging Criteria”):

Entries will be judged on the following equally weighted criteria, and according to the sole and absolute discretion of the judges:

• Speed
  Time taken to build the paywall from blank to done
• Accuracy
  Visual and behavioral fidelity to the reference paywall

Only submissions that achieve at least 90% accuracy will be eligible for final ranking. Among qualifying entries, the fastest build wins. Among qualifying builds, Speed determines the winner.

The scores from the Judges will determine the potential winners of the applicable prizes associated with each round. The Entrant(s) that are eligible for a Prize, and whose Submissions earn the highest overall scores based on the applicable Judging Criteria, will become potential winners of that Prize.

SPEED ROUND: Entrants that qualify for the Speed Round must be available on August 12, 2025, to compete live remotely. 20 Qualifiers will be split into four groups of five and each Entrant will be prompted to complete another Project live in real time.

Within each group, the 1st Place will qualify as Finalist. The 2nd Place within each group will then enter a Second Round within the Speed Round to compete to become the 5th Finalist. Judging criteria for the Speed Round will remain the same as above.

IN-PERSON FINAL ROUND: Entrants that qualify for the In-Person Final Round must be available to travel to the App Growth Annual conference in New York City on October 14th, 2025, to compete live. Judging criteria for the In-Person Final Round will remain the same as above.

In the event any ties remain, this process will be repeated, as needed, by comparing the tied Submissions’ scores on the next applicable criterion. If two or more Submissions are tied on all applicable criteria, the panel of Judges will vote on the tied Submissions.
