How do I submit our project?
You will email it, in a zip format, to
takata@adobe.com. All files and documentation must be in the zip. You can submit just once, the first zip will be the one we judge. The timestamp on the email will be the determining factor on whether it was submitted on time. No late (or early!) entries allowed.
Who can compete?
Anyone who is over 18 years old, lives on planet earth, and does not work for Adobe. Also you must live in a country Adobe is allowed to do business with. This usually aligns with U.S. sanction stuff. You probably already know it if you're in one of those countries. If you're not sure, please DM or email me and I can find out. Also you can't work for Adobe (darn it!)
Can I submit (insert whatever app type)
Pretty much, if it aligns with the criteria, yes. But use common sense. Technically it is supposed to be written between the dates above. If you submit a clearly previously written app (yes, we'll find out) you'll be disqualified.
What will Adobe do with my code?
Anything we want. Like, normal Hackathon rules apply. We can publish it for community use, incorporate it into CF, print parts on a t-shirt, get tattoos of it. Whatever. When you submit the code, we own it (even if you don't win). That's how Hackathons work. So keep that in mind.
Can I get (insert alternative prize) instead of (whatever I won)?
Nope. You get the prize listed. They're chosen specifically due to global prize giving rules we have to abide with. If you have a question or concern, DM me.
