Each sponsor will have their own bounty description and requirements as well as an internal process to judge projects.

Judging session

The official judging session for ETHRome will start on October 19th at 10:00am and will last for 4 hours (till 2:00pm). In that time, teams will have to showcase their project live to the selected jury. After the submission deadline, each team will be assigned to a group of judges that will be responsible for evaluating their work.

During the same judging session, teams will also be able to showcase their project to each bounty sponsor they applied to. In this case, judging process, time and criteria are decided by the sponsors and ETHRome is in no way involved in this process. What usually happens is that hackers visit the sponsor’s booth and showcase what they built. Not all the sponsors will be attending in person, but you can always reach them out on their dedicated Discord channel, as they may want to schedule a quick online meeting to see what you built.

This to say that we highly encourage hackers to stay at the venue up until the end of the closing ceremony to ensure you don’t miss your judging slots.

Minimum requirements to be judged

• A link to the open-source code must be provided (e.g. an open and public Github repository)
• If applicable, the contract address(es) of your deployed demo must be provided, either on a testnet of your choice or mainnet of a platform of choice
• A link to a walkthrough video (or demo) of max 3 minutes that shows what you built
  • NO ONLY SLIDES POLICY 🚫
  • How to record your video demo
• More detailed requirements are described on the TAIKAI submission page

Judging Process

The judging process consists of two steps:

• Code and live demo showcase (submission deadline is 10:00 AM (CET))
• Each team will have a maximum 7-minute slot with the judges (4 mins demo + 3 mins Q&A). Hackers will have to present their projects and answer questions from the judges. Hackers are only allowed to show a live demo of their project.
