First UI/UX Hackathon Event Update

Hi everyone! 
We’ve been thrilled to see the creativity and enthusiasm from participants so far. This hackathon is an amazing opportunity for you to grow your UI/UX skills and receive personalized feedback from real industry designers, so we want to make sure every submission is eligible for judging.

Reminder: This is a UI/UX Design Hackathon
All submissions must include a Figma prototype.
Projects that do not include a Figma prototype may not be considered for judging.

✅ Submission Requirements
To qualify, you must submit:
✔️ A Figma prototype link
✔️ A short explanation or video describing your design and process

💡 If your project also uses tools like code, AI, or engineering components, that’s totally fine —
but your core submission must show your UX design work in Figma.

❗ Several current submissions are only code-based.
These will NOT meet the requirements unless a Figma prototype is added.
If this applies to you, please update your submission before the deadline!

Why This Matters
This hackathon is designed to help you:

  • Build your UI/UX portfolio

  • Practice solving real problems with design thinking

  • Create user-focused prototypes

  • Gain personalized, written feedback from experienced UI/UX judges

  • Strengthen research, storytelling, and design skills

Even if you’re a beginner, this is a great chance to learn hands-on and get meaningful feedback that can help you grow as a designer.

 

🛠 Need Help?
Don’t worry — if you’re new to Figma, there are beginner-friendly tutorials linked on our event page. You still have time to revise or rebuild your prototype.

Questions?

If you have any questions about the hackathon, please post on the discussion forum or email the host at idk_grey@outlook.com

Thank you for participating and good luck everyone!
