Judging Criteria and Winner Selection

  • Relevance: Does the project use Claude in a helpful, harmless, and honest way? Is the project’s concept innovative and unique?
  • Pitch: Does the project seem useful, good, and necessary? Is the pitch good? How effectively does the team present their project?
  • Technical implementation: How well has the team implemented the idea? Does the code or demo work
  • Future Potential: What is the project’s long-term potential for success, growth, and impact? Is this a startup or a longer-term project?
