Show the Craft in you!

In 2022 CraftHack will mix the benefits of an online hackathon and an offline event. Hybrid format means, that participants can choose how they would like to attend the event. Anyone from around the world can join in online using our online platforms, but you can also choose to attend the in-person event in Budapest.

During your registration on JunctionApp you can select your preferred way of attendance. Select offline or online depending on you preference. Please note, that registering for the offline hackathon does not guarantee your participation at the event in person, beacuse of the limited amount of space at the venue! However, even if you are not selected as a confirmed offline participant, you can still take part in the competition online. Online participation does not require confirmation from the organizers

If you select offline participation as your preferred way of attendance, you will get a confirmation or a denial email with all the needed information from the organizers until the 18th of April. If you do not recieve an email until then, contact the organizers via Slack.

The hackathon will be organized in Budapest and the exact address will be shared with the offline participants a few weeks before the event. However please note that there won't be proper sleeping opportunities at the place (maybe some bean bags) and for refreshing you will be only able to use the restrooms.

Although CraftHub cannot cover any of your traveling or accommodational expenses, we will hook you up with food during the hackathon, strong internet connection, comfortable tables and seats and a lot of that infallible hackathon spirit!

For having an unforgettable experience do not forget about the most important things to bring with you to the venue, like your laptop, its charger and some change clothes.

Due to the continuously changing COVID situation, we are going to keep up to date this section and also inform our offline participants about the current regulations regarding the participation at the venue.

Draft submissions

• For draft submission, you have to create a project in the JunctionApp in the CraftHack event, you can easily save this draft project without any completed description
• When creating a draft project, it is enough for us if you only give a name to your project and choose the challenge you will work on
• At the draft submission deadlines we would only like to see how many projects will be submitted on the different challenges

We will have different types of winners by the end of the hackathon. The evaluations will have 2 rounds according to the following:

1. First round from 10:30 am on Sunday:
   1. Challenge winners will be chosen by partners. Each partner will get a judging sheet filled out with the projects submitted to their challenge. We will have a challenge winner for each challenge. The exact evaluation criterias will be found in the challenge descriptions.
   2. In the meantime, while the partners are evaluating, teams can also vote for each other’s projects on the JunctionApp with the Gavel algorithm. At the end of this voting, those teams who got the most votes in their challenge will be chosen into the finalists. (For more information about this algorithm, please scroll down to the FAQ part)
2. Second round after the Live pitches on Sunday:
   1. The winner of the Audience Award will be selected by the community which means that anyone can vote for their favorite project (even those who did not participate in the hackathon can vote). The voting will be managed with a poll and will be available after the pitches in the hackathon’s official Facebook event. In this evaluation all the teams who submitted a valid project that meets the requirements can participate even if they didn’t win a challenge.
   2. And finally, the Grand winner will be selected from the challenge winners chosen by the partners and the teams who got the most votes in JunctionApp by the community in each challenge. After the live pitches, the final evaluation will open, and only registered teams and partners (including mentors and jury) will be able to vote. Votes will be collected in two ways: from teams in JunctionApp by final voting and from partners via form.
