Is there a prize for the winning team?

What kinds of projects fit 305 Hacks?
Apps, prototypes, startup concepts, creative software, and student-focused tools are all a strong fit, especially ideas with thoughtful UX, a clear user need, and a compelling demo. We want 305 Hacks to feel like a launchpad for future tech entrepreneurs, not just a coding competition.
How will projects be evaluated?
Projects will be evaluated based on the strength of the idea, the quality of the delivery, and the level of innovation. A fully coded product is not required, but every team should present something that makes the concept feel real, such as a strong prototype, product flow, demo, or experience that clearly shows how it would work in practice. Winners will be selected based on how convincingly the team brings the concept to life and how much potential the project shows.
What happens at the end of the hack?
Teams polish their project, submit their work, and present during the closing showcase and judging session.
Where will event updates and resources be posted?
Organizers will use the 305 Hacks check-in event page to share live information, resources, and event updates with participants who RSVP.
