Project and Submission Requirements
RequirementsBelow are some things to cover with software submission requirements:
Project Requirements
- Functioning App. Does the project need to be fully functioning? If so, how is that defined for the competition? If not, what is required (e.g. design, clickable prototype, video of an app on a simulator)?
- Specific Tools. Is the project required to use an API, SDK, or data set?
- Topic / Categories. Are there any category requirements, content, or specific challenges the app must focus on?
- Platform. What operating systems or devices can the project run on?
- New vs. Existing. Do projects need to be new for the competition? Are existing projects eligible? Do existing projects need to be modified or include new functionality?
- App Store. Do projects need to be up on a mobile app store? If not, do they need to be submitted to an app store or marketplace before the submission deadline and how will you assess this is completed? If the app is not publicly available, what is required for testing?
Submission Requirements
- What to enter. Aside from a link to the project, what else are you requiring contestants to submit to describe or demonstrate their project and/or make it available for testing?
- Video. The Devpost platform accepts links to YouTube, Vimeo or Youku. Are you requiring a video? Does it need to include a demonstration of the project? Are there any limits or suggestions on length?
- File Upload. The platform allows submitters to upload one file, though they can combine files into a single ZIP file. Are you requiring any file uploads, such as installation files?
- Other. The platform requires contestants to enter an entry name and description. Include any specific instructions for these and any custom fields we’ve created for you in your rules.
- Multiple Apps. Can contestants submit more than one project?
