How do I submit what I have made for the Hackathon? You have to develop the application on your local system but do not submit it to HackerEarth. What you have developed will be demonstrated to the judges in your two-minute video for the first theme (integrating BSI into a document workflow) and your two-minute video for the second theme (printer administrator’s dashboard).

Do we need to have the entire idea fully working? The entire idea need not be fully implemented however, the submission should be functional so that it can be reviewed by the judges.

How is the environment? Will your environment support any language? Will you provide any IDE and DB for us to work on ideas? You have to develop the entire software application on your local system but do not submit it to HackerEarth. What you have developed will be demonstrated to the judges in your two-minute video for the first theme (integrating BSI into a document workflow) and your two-minute video for the second theme (printer administrator’s dashboard).

Does one have to be online and available for the entire duration of the Hackathon? No, one does not need to be logged in on HackerEarth or be online for the entire duration.

If it is a team submission, does that mean all team members will have access to work at the same time? Yes, all team members can login from their account and do application submission on HackerEarth.

Who will own the IP(Intellectual Property) Rights to the product that I have built? The developer/developers of the web/mobile application will have all rights and own the IP of the product. However, all code needs to be stored in a private repository because the BSI specification is not open source.
