Submission Rights and Display
You will have all the rights to your project upon submission - we just ask that we can post the winning teams' projects on our website for future publicity. Winning projects can be posted anonymously, if necessary.
Cheating
Cheating is not tolerated at our hackathon. All projects must be original work that was done within the time frame of the hackathon. If you submit work that was worked on previously, or submit someone else's work, your project will not be considered.
Submission Reminders
We are okay with you submitting the work you submit to QWER Hacks to other hackathons, IF and ONLY IF you only started hacking on Saturday, January 22 2022 at noon PST or afterwards. Again, you MUST have been accepted to participate in QWER Hacks for your project to be judged.
Code of Conduct:
At QWER Hacks, we aim to create a safe and inclusive environment for all our participants. We value the participation of every member of the event and we want everyone involved to have an enjoyable and fulfilling experience. To ensure this, all members are expected to show respect and courtesy to others at all times.
This code of conduct applies to the entire duration of all QWER Hacks events, as well as online activities related to QWER Hacks, such as postings on social media or in the hackathon Discord. All participants, including, but not limited to, attendees, speakers, QWER Hacks administrators/committee members, and all others present at the event are expected to abide by this Code of Conduct.
Harassment will not be tolerated, and any participant requested to stop harassing behavior must comply immediately. Offenders will be treated in any way deemed appropriate by the QWER Hacks administrators, including immediate expulsion from the event. In the event of gray areas, precedence will be given to the target of the conduct.
Harassment includes but is not limited to: offensive comments related to gender, age, sexual orientation, disability, physical appearance, body size, race, religion, social class, economic status, veteran status. Additional cases of harassment include but are not limited to: sharing sexual images, deliberate intimidation, stalking, following, brigading, doxxing, harassing photography or recording, sustained disruption of talks or other events, inappropriate physical contact, and unwelcome sexual attention. If what you’re doing is making someone feel uncomfortable, that counts as harassment and is enough reason to stop doing it. Conduct need not be intentional to constitute harassment.
If you are being harassed, notice that someone else is being harassed, or have any other concerns, please contact one of the QWER Hacks hosts or admins.
Additionally, to accommodate the experience of hosting an event in a virtual environment, we ask participants not to share anything from chat areas or any information shared by attendees generally without their consent. QWER Hacks admins reserve the right to delete any messages considered harmful or inappropriate and potentially ban offending users.
While this document exists primarily to prevent certain behavior, we also believe that our community members should work towards a higher standard and aspire to uplift and empower their fellow hackathon attendees.
QWER Hacks reserves the right to revise, make exceptions to, or otherwise amend these policies in whole or in part.
