Here Comes Submission Day!
Hey hackers,
We're 5 hours away from the submission deadline! Make sure you have everything locked and loaded by 5pm Lisbon time.
Your secret recipe for a successful submission is:
- An open repo that you won't update after the deadline
- An awesome Devpost page with a short description of what you're buidling
- A working demo we can look at
And if you're opting in for a pitching competition, please keep in mind that we will select the strongest presentations to showcase your work at the main stage (Layer1) tomorrow.
