👨‍⚖️👩‍⚖️Judging Criteria:

Is it far-reaching, does it help a specific organization already or do they expect to see changes in how they do their work in the coming months? Get inspired by the amazing community awarded solutions
  • Concept 20% - We’ll evaluate your idea to see if it is innovative while being relevant to one or multiple organizations dedicated to a social cause (NGO, professional association, etc.)
  • Technology 20% – We'll evaluate your solution on how effectively and efficiently you’ve used UiPath products, and if you’ve integrated with the ecosystem of other technologies.
  • Completion 20% - How complete is the solution? Have you delivered what you wanted too?
  • Presentation 10% - We will assess how well articulated your solution is and if your presentation is precise. 


❗Rules and Regulations:

  • The solution that you’re submitting must not be available as a solution or component on the UiPath Marketplace, won in previous UiPath Hackathons, or submitted in current UiPath Sponsored Hackathons (However, you may extend an existing solution, for example, a connector for Salesforce but with enhanced functionalities beyond the connector already available in the Marketplace.)
