Awards and Exhibition:
- At the end of the 2-day hackathon, participants will present their projects before a jury of experts (curators, artists, Eyebeam and The Creators Project staff).
- The jury will select a number of projects to award a project development stipend and workspace at Eyebeam.
- The selected artists will have 7-8 weeks to develop their projects for a dedicated exhibition at the The Creators Project: New York City this October.
- The Creators Project and Eyebeam will also host a panel discussion at the event where the selected artists will present and explain their work.
GROUND RULES
- Projects should not be under development prior to the start of the event. Pre-existing code libraries, APIs, sketches, and similar raw materials are allowed, but the spirit of the event encourages participants to build what they can in 36 hours.
- Choose an Open Source Initiative-approved license, or, if for a non-code project, a Creative Commonslicense if an OSI license does not meet your needs.
- Projects aren't limited to code or an app. Creating websites, design systems, information graphics, maps, etc. are OK!
- We encourage participants to work with at least one person at the event who they don't already know.
- We encourage coders and non-coders to work together, with both types actively participating throughout the project's development.
