DiamondHacks '22 is on March 26-27 and is conducted with the mission of supporting women and non-binary students interested in developing software projects. However, we welcome all hackers that support this mission, regardless of gender or experience. DiamondHacks '22 is entirely virtual and will be hosted using Discord and Zoom.
Beginners are welcome, and will be supported with introductory workshops and guidance from fellow students. Additionally, sponsors will be available to mentor and network with students. Anyone who submits a project on DevPost will have the chance to win prizes!
Any team size is welcome, but a maximum of 4 prizes will be awarded to each winning team.
Please visit our website for more information about our schedule and logistics.
Requirements
You are strongly encouraged to present a demo of what you have built. Pitches or presentations are discouraged. You are not judged on the quality of your pitch or the quality of your idea. As you are judged on what you built, you'll only hurt yourself by not showing a demo.
You are encouraged to present what you have done even if your hack is broken or you weren’t able to finish. It's okay if you didn't finish your hack—that happens all the time! Completion is only one part of the judging criteria, so you might still do well. Also, demoing is not just about the competition. It's a chance to share with others what you learned and what you tried to build—that's what hacking's all about! In the case that you don't have anything to demo, you can give a presentation about what you tried and what you learned. Hearing what other people learned is interesting and inspiring for other attendees.

Judging Criteria
-
Technology
How technically impressive was the hack? Was the technical problem the team tackled difficult? Did it use a particularly clever technique or did it use many different components? Did the technology involved make you go "Wow"? -
Design
Did the team put thought into the user experience? How well designed is the interface? For a website, this might be about how beautiful the CSS or graphics are. For a hardware project, it might be more about how good the HCI is. -
Completion
Does the hack work? Did the team achieve everything they wanted? -
Learning
Did the team stretch themselves? Did they try to learn something new? What kind of projects have they worked on before? If a team which always does VR projects decides to switch up and try doing a mobile app instead, that exploration should be rewarded.
