eMerge Americas is dedicated to be harassment free.
- Any act, verbal or otherwise, causing someone to feel uncomfortable is harassment.
- Sensitive areas where harassment may surface include race, religion, sex, and sexual orientation.
- Any individual being harassed should immediately voice their opinion, or contact one of the organizers.
- Harassment is cause for immediate ejection, without refund if money was involved.
Any individual performing an act determined to be harassment will immediately be ejected from the 2016 eMerge Americas Hackathon.
To be eligible for prizes you must make use of either of two Visa APIs:
Make sure to go through the Visa Developer Getting Starting Guide to get up and running with the Visa APIs.
Your team cannot have started application-specific code before the Hackathon's 24 hour period begins. Any grey area's in terms of using existing code should be cleared with the organizers.
No more than 5 people to a team.
Judges will assess your project based on your team's 3 minute presentation which will include a demo of your functioning application. Each of these impressions will be translated into a score based on the judging criteria outlined below.
Make sure to invest time in your presentation. That's your chance to make the biggest impression on the judges and show off your final product. Use it to communicate why you think your project is unique and interesting.
During the event, judges will spend some time on the hackathon floor mingling with the participants. Take that opportunity to engage with them! Talk to them about why you are working on your project. Let them get to know you, your team and your idea.
