The deadline for submitting your hackathon project is **August 31st at 11:59PM** (Anywhere on Earth). Whether you’re still actively building or just polishing up your submission, here’s some information to help you reach the finish line.

## Office hour

Join our live office hour this Friday at 5:45PM (GMT+2) to get feedback and support before you enter the final days of the hackathon. You can pre-register [here](https://luma.com/h1wmq0dc) or simply join the call using the meeting link in the [schedule](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1nnSDCFs1CXVT0v-l7YZCKvpxyFsN50BuFmM44eDZ73c/edit?usp=sharing).

## Ready to submit your work?

Be sure to refer back to the hackathon website for the full competition guidelines. Here is a cheat sheet to guide you through officially submitting your project.

### 1 - Prepare your project

- Check that your project meets the challenge criteria: two or more composed Tesseracts, with end-to-end gradients solving a real problem.
- Your code must have been written during the hackathon period with an **Apache 2.0 license**.
- You must have a **public GitHub repository with a README** that lets others reproduce your results.
- Include a short technical writeup (2–4 pages, or a detailed README) in your repo that **names the track you’re competing in** and makes the case for why the workflow needs Tesseract.
- _Optional: a demo video (5 minutes max) showing what you built and why it matters._

### 2 - Share with the world

Post about your project on LinkedIn, tagging [Pasteur Labs & ISI](https://www.linkedin.com/company/pasteur-isi) and [Tesseract](https://www.linkedin.com/company/si-tesseract). Be sure to include a link to your repo so the community can check out what you’ve made.

### 3 - Submit the form

Officially submit your project for prize consideration using this [form](https://tally.so/r/KYNZMg).

That’s it! Best of luck and lots of energy to everyone in the final days 🦾
