Q. What do I "hack" and how is it judged?
The goal of this event is to work on something that otherwise wouldn’t have had the chance to be explored before.
Think of the one thing you really wanted to do, but your day-to-day duties have gotten in the way. This Hackathon is the perfect time to get it done!
To ensure your hack will bring value, first, observe at what your department is struggling with, but hasn’t had the time to solve. If nothing comes to mind, look elsewhere within your company for any known pain points. Also, try to take in the perspective of one of your customers - do they have something you are certain they are struggling with?
You are more than welcome to work on something unrelated and spontaneous, but know that judging will be looking projects that are not only creative, but also that will create significant impact. See the judging criteria for more details.
Q. How much time would I need to devote to the event?
This is up to you. Start with 1 hour a day, and you can do more as needed . The more time you and your team spends, the more opportunity it has to improve the round deliverables.
Q. Can I participate in Teams?
Yes, the details for the same shall be available on 30th September.

Participants benefit from one-on-one feedback, publication on a respected platform, recognition from a global audience, and monetary rewards for each published article. Additionally, the top articles receive special rewards.
Each article must be original, and pass plagiarism and not AI generated content checks. You can submit multiple articles as long as each is distinct. Proper citation of all references and image sources is mandatory.
There are no specific requirements to register for the hackathon, although it is recommended to have some basic knowledge of the relevant topics, such as Data Science, Machine Learning, or Deep Learning, along with proficiency in a coding language, preferably Python.
In the Blogathon, an article typically explores a specific topic or idea within Data Science or Generative AI and is required to be at least 1000 words long. A guide, on the other hand, is a more comprehensive resource, covering all aspects of a particular subject in data science, and must be at least 2500 words long. Guides aim to serve as a one-stop resource, providing detailed insights and practical applications, whereas articles might focus on narrower or more specific topics.
Depending on the type of competition, you can participate individually or in a team.
Multiple submissions of the same article are prohibited and could lead to disqualification. Articles failing to meet the required length, originality, or citation standards will be rejected.
AVCC is a community for authors who have had three or more articles published in the Blogathons. Members benefit from monetary rewards for each published article and get the opportunity to showcase their work to a larger audience.
You can access the problem statement under the "Problem Statement" tab once the Hackathon is live.
