1. Eligibility
The hackathon is open to individuals who are at least 18 years old, or the legal age of majority in their country of residence, whichever is older.
Employees of Supabase may participate but are not eligible to win prizes.
By entering, participants agree to abide by these Rules, Supabase's Code of Conduct, and the decisions of Supabase.
2. Registration
All participants must register before the start of the event.
Teams may consist of individuals or groups (team size limits may be set by the organizers).
3. Project Requirements
Original work during the event. All projects must be created solely during the hackathon. Pre-existing projects are not eligible, though participants may use open-source projects, libraries, frameworks, and APIs as building blocks.
Use of Supabase. To be eligible for prizes, submissions must meaningfully integrate Supabase services (for example database, auth, storage, edge functions, or realtime).
Data privacy. Projects must not use or process sensitive personal data, protected health information (PHI), or any data in violation of applicable data protection and privacy laws.
4. Submission Guidelines
Each team must submit their project by the announced deadline.
Submissions must include a project description, a demo or code, and instructions for running the project.
Late submissions will not be considered.
5. Judging Criteria
Projects will be judged by a panel selected by Supabase. Submissions will be evaluated on the following criteria:
- Innovation and creativity — how original is the idea, and does it approach the problem in a new way?
- Functionality and completeness — does it do what the team claims? Reward builds that actually run, with real auth and real data, over slideware and mockups.
- User experience and design — is it intuitive, and is the design polished enough to show care for the user?
- Impact and usefulness — does it solve a real problem, with a clear audience and use case?
6. Prizes
Prizes will be awarded to the top teams as determined by the judges.
Only projects that comply with these rules are eligible to win.
7. Intellectual Property
Teams retain ownership of their projects.
By submitting a project, participants grant Supabase and its affiliates a worldwide, royalty-free, non-exclusive, non-revocable, transferable license to use, reproduce, publicly display, perform, distribute, and publish the project name, descriptions, screenshots, demos, and other elements of the project for marketing, promotional, and event-related purposes, as well as research, testing, and product development purposes, including incorporating ideas or feedback into Supabase's products and services.
8. Miscellaneous
Supabase reserves the right to disqualify any submission that violates these rules.
Supabase may cancel, modify, or suspend the hackathon due to unforeseen circumstances.
