Include a link to the functional software application.

Include a link to your solution code on GitHub or any other code repository sharing method. Your code repository may be public or private. If your repository is private, access must be shared with hello@devera.vn and stated in the testing instructions provided with your submission. Code will be used only for solution review and testing. 

Create a video that includes footage that clearly explains your application’s features and functionality through a comprehensive demonstration.

Complete and enter all of the required fields on the “Enter a Submission” page of the Hackathon Website (each a “Submission”) during the Hackathon Submission Period, and follow the requirements below.
